"Yes, we are different in many ways, but under it all we're deeply connected."
Brene Brown
You Belong Here Foundation is leading a movement of inclusive sisterhood for immigrant women and their daughters by providing resources, trainings, and community.
We believe all people, including immigrant women, deserve to thrive and embrace a wholistic American Dream. We are bringing together immigrant women to cultivate their leadership skills, deepen their community engagement, and get their voices heard on TV, in print, and social media.
Today, a growing number of immigrant women are searching for a more meaningful and fulfilling life. We are building a community for their lights to shine, their stories to be told, and their strengths to be leveraged exponentially.
You Belong Here Foundation is tending to the soul of this new community of immigrant women.

Why I founded You Belong Here Foundation:
I am a champion for women, immigrants, and community service. You Belong Here Foundation is how I am channeling my passion to bridge the gap between immigrant women and community service opportunities.
I believe we are all equal despite our birthplace, skin color, accents, class, education and other ways we are different. I am a flaming optimist who believes in the goodness of people. I believe it’s worthwhile to strive for ways to find our sameness instead of differences, because under it all, we are deeply connected by love and shared humanity.
It’s more important than ever for immigrants to be seen and heard in a positive light. Being active in local communities is one of the best ways for them to belong as Americans. Yet, most immigrants have little knowledge of the nonprofit sector in America.
My passion for community building, twenty-plus years of experience working for and founding nonprofits as well as my own immigrant journey uniquely qualify me as the perfect connector and guide to bridge the gap between immigrants and nonprofits.
Dali Lama said, “Western women will save the world,” hence my decision to focus on helping immigrant women living in America.
I am also committed to ‘take back’ the word immigrant which has become a word with mostly negative connotation in recent years. This is a country built by immigrants. Immigrants matter. Immigrants make this country great. We are all immigrants, just from different generations. Immigrant will be a positive word again through the life-changing programs of You Belong Here Foundation.
Our goal is to provide a community for immigrant women so they can speak openly, support and inspire one another!
