I had the pleasure of attending to tonight’s kickoff for Latin Women’s Initiative with Diana Hernandez, Priscilla Picasso, Christa Jaganath, CPA and Melissa Taylor. LWI is gearing up for their annual Fashion Show and Luncheon on May 3rd. With the fabulous Brazilian designer, Pat Bo, and their Carnivale theme it will surely be a feast for the eyes! The event has a goal of $600,000 to benefit local Houston charities. A big shoutout to Patricia Garcia for organizing the event! Tickets are going fast so don’t wait! #LatinWomensInitiative #HoustonCharities #FashionShow
