In this, we have designed and executed live programs to drive awareness and generate revenues to directly support women in New york city and their abilities to thrive here. The launch of our Warrior Women Couture Line, designed by partner Sarah Jones-Thomas is an idea that I have had for many years -as a line that delivers resilience, strength, elegance and beauty to the New York Warrior Woman who strives for success, while embracing her true feminine nature and power. The Warrior Women team is thrilled to co-host this event to bring together the community and assist the efforts of ENDGBV and its partners”

Attendees will also have the opportunity to network with female executives, founders, creatives, influencers, and community leaders in an inspiring, high-energy environment.

Designer Sarah Jones Thomas shared her thoughts on the collaboration, emphasizing the empowering role of fashion:

“I love the mission of this cause- to both protect and empower women and am grateful for the opportunity to use my clothing line to further the cause. Our wardrobe can be both armor and reveal our authentic selves at the same time, it’s a powerful tool for both physical and psychological protection and empowerment.”

“We are honored that Warrior Women in Business has chosen to donate the proceeds from its silent auction to our Relationship Abuse Prevention Program (RAPP),” said Saloni Sethi, Commissioner of the NYC Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence (ENDGBV). “Since 2021, RAPP has reached more than 184,000 students, and this generous contribution will enhance support for young people learning about healthy relationships. We thank Warrior Women in Business for supporting our work and for helping raise awareness of our office’s work preventing gendered violence for and supporting safety for survivors, their families and communities.”
