I met Tasha a few years ago with her mom Bambi while they were visting her sister Bella who was studying in New York. Over a long and leisurely lunch I had the pleasure of hearing she and her sister speak about their numerous advocacies and projects in the Philippines. I was so inspired hearing them talk so passionately about their dreams, their philanthropy, and their ideas about how to make a better future for the next generation of Filipinos.

Can I tell you I first met Ayesha back in 2016 when ARK honored me at their fundraiser gala in New York. Since then we have become friends and I have helped her with some creative input with last year’s event. She is a force of nature; bubbling with energy, overflowing with ideas and optimism that is inspiring to be around.
