Our Story

In April of 2017 a group of us who attended the Afghan-American Conference were inspired by the amount of strong, successful, and empowering women we have in our community. We wanted to find a way to connect everyone to continue the conversations and build from the relationships from that weekend.

With the amount of knowledge and experience we have amongst us, we can utilize and develop resources to build each other up and continue making progress towards our goals. Whether it's hosting networking events, facilitating a live professional panel, or hosting spaces to share stories with one another, it's important to create a sustainable advocacy program for the women in our community.
