Description

Lighting the Future Series: Empowering Women, Inspiring Change

Join us for a transformative evening in the Lighting the Future series, featuring Dr. Homeira Qaderi, a celebrated Afghan writer and tireless advocate for women’s rights, and Julia Abratanska, a dedicated humanitarian aid worker and co-founder of Renegade Relief Runners, an organization committed to delivering essential supplies to Ukrainian citizens. Together, these inspiring women bring stories of resilience, courage, and a relentless pursuit of justice.


At Elena’s Light, our mission is to empower refugee women to build brighter, more self-sufficient futures. Through programs in English as a Second Language (ESL) tutoring, health education, driving permit test preparation, and legal rights advocacy, we work to dismantle cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic barriers. Our services are offered free of charge, culturally competent, and supported by interpreters to ensure accessibility for all.


Together, we envision a community that not only celebrates diversity but also provides equitable opportunities for everyone.
