Last Friday, our ESL students participated in a vibrant and joyful fashion show that celebrated cultural diversity and personal expression. The event featured traditional clothing from a variety of countries, as well as modern, casual, and formal outfits for special occasions. It was a meaningful opportunity for our students to proudly share their heritage, build confidence, and connect with one another through fashion and storytelling. The show was a wonderful reflection of the creativity and community spirit fostered in our program. #YWCA2025FashionShow

77% of intimate partner homicide victims are women. 69% of those women are killed with a gun. This is not just a statistic—it’s a crisis. It’s why YWCA fights every day to ensure that all women and girls can live free from violence, fear, and intimidation. Bit.ly/3Sff1P5 #ONEYWCA #GunViolenceAwarenessDay
