This time last week, the North Miami CRA was proud to stand alongside a powerful movement of women leading, building, and shaping our community. ✨

On Thursday, March 26, 2026, we co-sponsored the 7th Annual Women Empowered Network (W.E.N.) Luncheon hosted by Councilwoman Mary Estimé-Irvin at the Joe Celestin Community Center—bringing together a sold-out crowd of more than 500 women from across Miami-Dade County.

From opening moments led by our Executive Director Anna-Bo Emmanuel to an inspiring fireside chat featuring Angela Rye, moderated by Katia Saint Fleur—the energy in the room was undeniable.

At the North Miami CRA, we remain committed to creating spaces, opportunities, and resources that uplift women and drive meaningful impact across our community.
