We are thrilled to introduce you to our very first lunch gathering of our Champions, a first look at who are ambassadors of Women of Hong Kong!


Our Ambassador Committee consists of our dedicated WoHK members who inspire others through their passion for what they do and their unique experiences and struggles, encouraging women not to be afraid to take bold risks in pursuit of greatness.



Our ambassadors are changemakers, connectors, and champions of other women and individuals of our city! From left to right: Aileen Lai, Carla Martinesi, Cherisse Kofod, Afroditi Agrafioti, Jemma Daley, Sapphire Shen, Gianne Chan and Stephanie Ng

Inside Our First Ambassador Gathering

At WOHK, we believe in the power of women coming together, not just to network, but to truly connect, uplift, and build something greater. That’s exactly what our Ambassador Lunch was all about. Set in a cozy, family-felt filled with laughter and intention, we brought together a group of incredible women to reflect, align, and dream big for what’s next.

The Experience


Walking into the venue felt like stepping into a warm embrace. The table was elegantly set with soft florals, handwritten name cards, and carefully chosen welcome gifts. The scent of delicious food filled the air as women arrived, greeting each other with the ease of old friends.. even if most us them had just met!


The evening began with introductions, followed by a heartfelt speech from Sarah Vee. She spoke beautifully about celebrating our ambassadors and their contributions to the WOHK community, reminding everyone, "We couldn’t have done this without our wonderful and supportive Ambassadors." It was a call to strengthen our connections and continue empowering one another.


As the conversation flowed, each ambassador shared their journey - why they were chosen, the impact they’ve made, and the change they hope to create. There was laughter, honesty, and so much mutual support, the kind of energy that made everyone feel they were exactly where they were meant to be.

Ambassador Highlights



One of our ambassadors, Afroditi Agrafioti, shared her deeply moving journey of leaving home behind. She spoke candidly about the challenges of moving from Greece to Hong Kong—starting over in an unfamiliar city with no friends or connections. But everything changed after she joined our community. Through WOHK, she found a circle of genuine, intelligent, and supportive women who stood by her every step of the way.


"Being part of this community means receiving unwavering support, believing in myself, achieving the miracle of life, and passing that strength on to other women in need!" - Afroditi Agrafioti

Her words are a powerful and inspiring reminder of what WOHK is all about: building connections, fostering strength, and empowering women to uplift one another.

As the afternoon drew to a close, we were reminded of the simple joy of sitting down and reconnecting with the important people in our lives. This lunch was a beautiful reminder that we’re never alone in our journeys, and that the real magic happens when we show up, share openly, and support one another.


Whether it was exchanging resources, offering advice, or simply being there to listen, every woman left with something meaningful - fresh ideas, a new friendships, or a deeper connections to the mission behind Women of Hong Kong.


"When women support each other, incredible things happen."

Thank You
