Threads of Connection

“

Tapestry highlights how women from all cultures can be recognized for their community contributions. Many events and seminars have shown true leadership from diverse women. Enduring friendships and lots of laughter are the side benefits for anyone who Tapestry touches! I’m a proud Tapestry woman since 2018 and feel grateful.

“

For more than five years, Tapestry has given me a space to share my culture and connect with the community through food. As a culinary entrepreneur from Bangladesh, I have had the chance to showcase my cooking, celebrate my heritage, and make many friends from different backgrounds. Tapestry has made me feel that what I bring to the community is valued.

I heard about Tapestry from Danielle, and it is wonderfully aligned with my work on women’s empowerment. After writing and presenting for academic audiences for years, I was able to reach the people that I did it for, and to make an actual, real-world impact. And this is what makes me want to go on! I also brought my son Daniel into the mix, and I am very proud of his contribution šŸ™‚
