Review for The Women's Mosaic, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I met the founder Kristina during my one-woman show at the Philippine Consulate, at that time she brought her members to experience various cultures (food and places). The Women's Mosaic, as the name suggests, consist of women of diverse background and color. For a new immigrant without friends or relatives in USA, it is great to find a professional group of women whose main agenda is self-empowerment and understanding diversity. I found an instant friend in Kristina when I met her, then a whole group of amazing women who made me feel at "home".

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

monthly events where I used to bring my li'l girl even to nightclub comedy shows, coz I had no one to leave her with. Kristina arranged for an accommodation, up until last year's Esprit fashion show where my daughter, now 15, was the youngest participant.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

It is very focused on its goal: women empowerment and diversity. There is something new each time, new ideas evolved from having more members but the core structure remains.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

friendly, professional and always reinventing themselves to make each event different. Men are welcome, too.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

certainly offer more opportunities to reach out to women (and guest men) out there, specially in times like these, when job lost is all too common, and finding support alternatives and coaching should be within affordable reach, if not 'gratis'.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?

About every month
