Catching up: MAG GALA 2024 by Luisa Diaz Foundation celebrated their 10th Anniversary with Black Tie Gala last week. The MAG GALA 2024: Celebration of kindness was held at The Plaza Hotel and raising funds for Safe Passage Heals and Sanctuary for Families. Here’s a peak of our evening filled with smiles, kindness and supporters of this charity.
Honoring a decade of changing lives in communities across America with 2024 and focusing on two organizations – Safe Passage Heals and Sanctuary for Families. We joined the “Celebration of Kindness” with other changemakers and tastemakers from across the globe. The organization’s motto that “kindness is cool,” Last year Mayor Adams proclaimed May 18th as “Kindness is Cool Day” in NYC forevermore.
Here’s a look at the night and the fun with other fashion friends. There was also a runway show celebrating women survivors as well as one trans person survivor this year who will walk the runway after going through the program for a year and further training sessions of confidence-building and styling provided by the Luisa Diaz Foundation. The emphasis is placed on not it being a show about style, but rather a prolific moment that can forever re-shape the life of a person who has suffered from past abuse. The new beginning and moving toward a place of light and hope starts when they take the stage and walk proud with each step breaking the chains of oppression.
