Testimonials

“As an Italian lifestyle blogger and marketing professional, NOIAW has allowed me to connect and build relationships with professional women of Italian descent, all while celebrating our beloved heritage. I moved from Italy when I was nine years old, and this organization has helped me feel connected to my culture through their various events and resources. Learning about the paths and successes of many women who are NOIAW members is truly inspiring, and it makes me proud to be part of this group”.
