Today I went to a luncheon for the Women’s Fund of Miami. What a wonderful beginning to my work in Miami! These luncheons happen four times a year for grantee organizations of the Women’s Fund. A room full of hard-working representatives of amazing organizations that serve women in Miami. Awesome.
We were split into smaller groups to discuss what our own organizations are doing, and how our organizations can work together in the future. As I've just started working with the Miami Workers' Center and South Florida Interfaith Worker Justice, I could only speak briefly about what I knew, and then sit and listen to passionate, intelligent women talk about their own organizations.
Of my small group, there was a variety of organizations represented- such as an organization that promotes breast cancer prevention for low-income individuals, and a resource center and residential facility for homeless women and infants. It was so wonderful to have a chance to hear about the other programs in the Miami area, and to meet some of the passionate individuals who work for them.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead
