The Runway of Hope - Kindness is Cool
The “Runway Of Hope” where fashion meets compassion, celebrates individuals who have overcome various adversities such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking, and are now rebuilding their lives. The walk on the Runway signifies the transition from a place of darkness to one of hope and light. "Walking towards the light"
In working with these courageous women, I remind them of how beautiful and worthy they are and strengthen their self-esteem.

The "Luisa Diaz Foundation" (LDF 501c3) supports grassroots organizations and individuals who are making a direct impact in helping people and their communities through acts of kindness.
Luisa Diaz Brown, whose overarching theme is "Kindness is Cool" has been actively involved in community service since her early days in North Carolina. As the host, producer, and director of
"Luisa Su Voz Latina" the first Spanish language talk show on the local ABC Network affiliate, Luisa provided crucial resources to the Hispanic community, including legal services, medical
expertise, and entertainment. In addition, she organized Food Drives and supported "Toys for Tots" with donation drives and deliveries during the holiday season.
Luisa developed and produced the "MAG Gala" (Mi Amor Graciousness Gala), an annual "celebration of kindness" held in New York, Los Angeles, and Houston. These events raise funds
and awareness for organizations that support survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and human trafficking and their families. Luisa worked directly with the survivors, coaching them and helping them build their self-esteem to walk the "Runway of Hope" (Walking Towards the
Light, where fashion meets compassion).
Luisa believes we can all help create a "Snowball of Kindness" that will continue to grow, inspire, empower, and provide hope and opportunities for people to change their lives and
improve the world around them.
