"We aim to continue uplifting those who feel as though their identity is not beautiful."

Dear Friends and Community Members,

On behalf of the North Carolina Hmong Women Association, thank you for being part of our journey. It is an honor to serve as President and CEO of an organization rooted in community, resilience, and hope.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to uplift Hmong women and girls through connection, education, wellness, leadership, and cultural preservation. Every program we offer and every partnership we build is guided by the belief that when women and families are supported, entire communities thrive.

Over the past year, we have seen the strength of our community firsthand—through moments of healing, leadership development, youth empowerment, and collective care. From educational workshops and youth leadership initiatives to wellness support, disaster relief, and cultural celebrations, our work continues to center dignity, access, and belonging.

None of this would be possible without the trust and commitment of our volunteers, board members, donors, community partners, and families we serve. Your belief in our mission fuels our ability to respond to real needs, create safe and affirming spaces, and invest in the next generation of leaders.

As we look ahead, we remain committed to expanding our impact thoughtfully and sustainably—listening to our community, strengthening partnerships, and advocating for equity and opportunity across North Carolina. We invite you to continue this work with us, whether through participation, partnership, or support.

Thank you for standing with us and for helping us build a future where Hmong women and girls, and families are empowered, connected, and thriving.

With gratitude,

Sendra Yang, PharmD, MBA
President & CEO
North Carolina Hmong Women Association
