"When I look at emotional intelligence and the barriers that people face in their lifetime, we don't know what they're gonna be, but we know that if we work together and love on each other, we're gonna make a huge impact," Courtney says.

"What an honor to be able to talk with women, to be able to build up their experience and to encourage them in their role, because y'all make a ton of impact."

Women United will have a S'mores and More Raffle event on October 10, 2022. More details can be found on their Women United of Greater Lima Facebook page.
