30th may, 2024
On May 30th, Asian Women for Health (AWFH) held their annual but first of its kind CelebrAsians Gala. The event was a vibrant showcase of diverse Asian heritage, with guests donning a wide array of traditional garments from flowing lehnga cholis, saris and intricate kimonos to striking hanboks and shalwar kameez!
We all gathered as a community with a shared vision — an inclusive and equitable healthcare system! The gala also featured a Kathak performance by Anjali Nath, which captivated everyone in attendance.
