She also invited Karina Banda and Ingrid Macher, both remarkable women in their own right. Karina, for her charisma, and Ingrid for being a breast cancer survivor.

“We send this message to the world from the most iconic street in New York, this year especially with men in mind,” explained Dr. Pablo Medina.
