Founded in October 2012, this Florida Not-For-Profit has persistently provided a platform for Jamaican women to amplify their voices, network, and personally develop. 

Their endeavors span from awarding academic scholarships to Jamaican/American female graduates to mentoring future stalwarts in both Jamaica and Florida.
