2Gether International Flipping the Narrative

Cherie and Rosalia were delighted to attend the 2Gether International Flipping the Narrative event on 12/7. We were there to support ECNV Agents of Change graduates and Victor Wear co-founders Isaiah and Tiffany Hamilton as they pitched their upcoming https://www.victorwearexpo.com/ Victor Wear Expo. The event was a homage to Judy Heumann, a supporter of this organization and many of us at ECNV.

ECNV Director of Multicultural Families Rosalia Fajardo pays a personal tribute to Judith Heumann, a hero, an icon for the multicultural communities around the world.
