?? Last month, we had an inspiring morning at the Poderosa Breakfast as we celebrated International Women's Day! ?? It was a powerful gathering of incredible women coming together to share, inspire, and uplift one another. We are beyond grateful for Lucero Valle our community partner and talented photographer, who not only captured the essence of the event but also took beautiful headshots for everyone. ??? Her unique perspective and eye for detail truly made the moments unforgettable. We also want to extend our gratitude to our amazing sponsors Robert Half and Protiviti for their support in making this event possible. A huge thank you as well to our speaker, the incredible Latina leader Rosandra Silveira, whose words inspired and motivated us all. We are thrilled to finally share the wonderful photos, and we can't wait to use them to continue empowering and supporting women everywhere.
