2024 Gala Success
Our Inaugural 2024 Gala was a huge success, raising over $15,000 for women’s empowerment. Through your generous support, we’re sponsoring two remarkable women in achieving their professional and personal goals. Both will receive comprehensive life and wellness coaching from Founder/Executive Director, Haseena Shaheed-Jackson, focusing on career development, leadership skills, and personal wellbeing. Follow their progress through our monthly newsletter and website updates.
