Founder and CEO Samira Harnish is here with details about the 15th Annual Fashion Show and Cultural Gala.
Hi there, Samira.
Always so good to have you back.
And I know this event has grown like crazy.
I mean, it's an incredibly popular event now so- - [Samira] Yes.
- Tell us what's happening this year.
- Yeah, I would love to invite all our supporters to join us in ascending with women, forcibly displaced women that we serve and celebrating their resilient and courage and culture in our fashion show and cultural gala on March 5th.
And this event actually show the beauty of diversity and the power of our community.
So I love to see everybody is coming in there.
We have a few tickets left, so hurry up and buy your ticket and come and see the beauty of the courage of those women when they walk in the catwalk.
So we have many surprises in this year, and hopefully we'll see more Utahans to support us this way.
We need them more than ever.
- Oh yeah.
I would say, and I know the women come from around the world.
They have incredible costumes from their, you know, their traditional lands that they wear and show.
So they're not professional models.
These are real women in our community.
- Yes, I mean, one of the women from Syria, actually, she is not model, you know, she's a little bit big.
And she said, oh, I'm not having that, a beautiful body, you know, to show.
I said, no, is what you are accomplishing in this stage, that's the beauty about it.
So she gonna be a model with her daughter and walk and hear the amazing, successful story.
- I love it, I love it.
Well, thank you so much, Samira.
- Thank you.
- Especially for what you do, thank you.
- Thank you.
