Power On Heels Fund Inc. continues to find ways to engage, empower and inspire our powerful community of Latinas! In February 2020, we focused on continuing to teach, bring awareness to and advocate against the gender pay gap inequity Latinas face. When COVID-19 closed down our city we began to explore how to conduct and introduce new ways to keep our community engaged and connected! POHF shifted to virtual events across our platforms. We have reached and made available invaluable relevant programming to assist in getting through the challenges everyone is experiencing!
