New York.- The “Por Amor a Mí” (For Love of Me) project celebrated its official launch at the facilities of the Consulate General of the Dominican Republic in New York, marking the beginning of a community dedicated to promoting self-love as a foundation for transforming lives, relationships, brands, and businesses.

Founded by Enmanuel Encarnación and Steffi Frías, the project emerges under the philosophy “Choose myself to choose well,” with the purpose of creating spaces for training, reflection, and experiences that promote personal and professional development from a more conscious perspective.

The meeting had the institutional support of the Consulate General of the Dominican Republic in New York, represented by Vice Consul Támiris García Marcano, who accompanied a day focused on emotional well-being, leadership, and the strengthening of the Dominican community abroad.

There were also spaces for reflection, testimonies, and the lecture “My path to self-love,” given by international speaker Lola Gutiérrez, whose participation invited attendees to reconnect with their history and embrace self-love as a transformative decision.

One of the most emotional moments was the presentation of awards to women whose careers reflect the values of Por Amor a Mí. María Trusa, Solange Vargas, Jenny Biez, Rosaly Mayerlin, Tiffany Rosario, Clara Díaz, and Lola Gutiérrez were honored for their contributions to leadership, education, communication, service, and human development.

The launch also highlighted the support of national and international allies. From Switzerland, businesswoman Evelyn Contreras, creator of Estilismo con Propósito, traveled to be part of the event. She was joined by the support of Dominican brands Bixer, Lemisol, and Genuinas by Melina, from the Dominican Republic; and companies established in the United States such as La Casita de Joshua and Mr. Careers, among other allies who made this first experience possible.

This day marked the birth of a community committed to accompanying people in their personal and professional growth, promoting self-love as a tool for social transformation.

With this launch, Por Amor a Mí begins a new stage that includes future experiences, training programs, and strategic alliances aimed at strengthening a network of individuals, professionals, and organizations convinced that the most important changes begin when a person decides to choose themselves.

The founders thanked the Consulate General of the Dominican Republic in New York, the authorities present, the sponsoring brands, international allies, media outlets, and special guests for supporting an initiative that aspires to become a benchmark for the Latino community inside and outside the United States.

Por Amor a Mí was born as a community that believes that when a person learns to love themselves, they also strengthen their relationships, their leadership, and their ability to generate a positive impact on society.
