💌 A Love Letter to the Warrior Queens of World Change

🌍✨ On this United Nations International Day of Women in Diplomacy, we honor the women worldwide who are shifting the tides of history with vision, voice, and valiant leadership.

The United Nations Association of Los Angeles is especially honored to share a special message from our friend and mentor, Ambassador Shefali Razdan Duggal—the first diplomat of color to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of The Netherlands. She reflects on her inspiring journey from humble beginnings to becoming a global force of poise, purpose, and power.

At UNA Los Angeles, we don’t just spotlight changemakers—we shape them. We are proud to champion a rising generation of young women leaders who are bold, brilliant, and boundary-breaking—our Warrior Queens of World Change, leading with fire and femininity, class and CALMPassion, and a future-first spirit of style, sincerity, and soul. 👑🔥

These are the faces of diplomacy now: riveting, resilient, and roaring radiantly.
