Proyecto Pastoral, a social justice non-profit based in Boyle Heights, is hosting its Women of Impact award reception on Thursday, May 29 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Studio-MLA 251 South Mission Road in Los Angeles. The reception will honor Josefina López, award-winning playwright/screenwriter and founding artistic director of CASA 0101 Theater, and Rose Ann Djelmane, senior vice president of Bank of America, for their dedication to uplifting their communities.
Since its founding in 2017, Women of Impact has recognized incredible women who demonstrate leadership, resilience and vision in various fields, including real estate, philanthropy, the arts, law, healthcare, banking, media, advocacy and non-profit and community leadership. The event raises essential funds to support women of all ages through Proyecto Pastoral’s wide range of programs, empowering them to thrive and continue making a positive difference in the community.
The Women of Impact reception will be held at Studio-MLA, an urban design studio in Boyle Heights that integrates landscape architecture and urban design with plans to create places that inspire human connection, unite communities and restore environmental balance. Attendees can expect a cocktail reception to begin the night and a panel discussion moderated by Raquel Román, MSW, executive director of Proyecto Pastoral.
