Virtual slam-dunk: Texas Women’s Foundation luncheon delivers powerful messages

Different times and a different world in which we live made no difference on Tuesday afternoon.

The Texas Women’s Foundation’s 35th annual luncheon, presented by the Dallas Mavericks and Toyota, may have been conducted in virtual style, but it still had the same passion and the same profound message to about 1,500 online viewers.

The well-done virtual luncheon was highlighted by a wide-ranging interview with America Ferrera, renowned actress and activist who also has published an anthology of stories “American Like Me: Reflections on Life Between Cultures.
