Mi Amor Gala & Safe Passage Unite Leaders Through Empowerment Fashion Show

Beverly Hills, CA, November 22, 2016 (Newswire.com) - ​​​​​​Two years ago, Luisa Diaz, founder of Mi Amor Gala, joined forces with Safe Passage, a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that works to repair the damage done from abuse. Since launching, Mi Amor Gala has produced several successful events and raised thousands of dollars for nonprofit organizations.

“I am very excited and proud to be able to celebrate our 2nd year anniversary. Domestic Violence is close to my heart,” says Latina philanthropist Luisa Diaz, “…as a little girl when I was growing up I saw my beloved grandmother being verbally and physically abused by my grandfather. Mi Amor Gala has been possible because of a snowball contribution of kindness. I always wanted to help my grandmother, so my involvement in domestic violence is in her honor.”

Every nine seconds, a woman in America is assaulted or beaten.
