I am proud to announce that I have accepted the invitation to become a chairperson for the Houston Area Women’s Center Leadership Campaign.
This is a huge honor and I am so excited to be working with this organization. I want to dedicate this to my mom, she came to this country as an immigrant and worked so hard to be a good example to my sisters and I. She always taught us to never complain, ignore the noise, and keep our head up!
As a woman, being a voice for other women one of the most important things I can do. The Houston Area Women’s Center provides support and advocacy for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. They provide a safe place for women and children to stay. They also offer counseling services to survivors for free. The Houston Area Women’s Center has made a commitment to being a safe place for all women and their work in Houston is so important.
I connected with The Houston Area Women’s Center and was able to meet up with them during the winter storm and supply lunches for the staff and ladies residing at the shelter. I am very much looking forward to continuing my work with them.
