Last Friday, June 7th, Deloitte celebrated its 25th annual National Impact Day, and Suited for Change was honored to be a partner organization in the Women’s Career Kickstarter event.
This impactful day was filled with laughter, empowerment, and fun as Deloitte’s amazing employees, Suited’s wonderful volunteers, and fellow local organizations, House of Ruth, Catholic Charities, and New Hope Housing, came together to support the resilient women in our community.
Through stations such as the Networking Lounge, Resume 101, and Interview Prep, participants were able to create their own experience at this professional development event! Not only were there opportunities to practice networking and resume building, but this kickstarter event also included a chance for participants to have a session with a professional make-up artist.
After either getting touched up or receiving a full makeover, participants made their way over to Suited’s pop-up boutique for styling advice with our skilled volunteers, Amy Andrus and Marianne Clifford Upton. With Amy’s eye for fashion and Marianne’s talent for finding the perfect scarf for any outfit, we had an amazing team to make sure all the wonderful ladies at the event felt confident and photo-ready to receive a fresh headshot. And of course, we made sure that they could find some new pieces to add to their professional wardrobe! So, thank you to both of these incredible volunteers for all that you do for Suited today and every day.
Once the participants felt confident and empowered in their new business attire, they had the opportunity to get a professional headshot taken by the wonderful Shannon Larson. A huge thank you to Shannon for capturing the beauty and power of all the amazing women at this event – we appreciate you and are so happy to have gotten to work with you!
It truly was inspiring to witness so many individuals come together to make this event happen. We saw some beautiful connections form between so many different parties and saw the magic of empowering women in the professional world unfold – which is what we here at Suited for Change strive for! This event would not have been possible without the support of our fantastic board member, Olivia Termini, who has been with Deloitte since 2020! Thank you, Olivia, for being such an invaluable member of our team.
This day reminded us of the importance and joy of uplifting women in the professional world and ensuring that all women have the resources and skills they need to be successful in their careers. We are grateful that Deloitte invited us to join them in celebrating their annual day of impact and felt so welcomed by everyone we met! This event encompassed what Suited is all about – striving for women to feel confident and prepared to enter the workforce on their path to financial independence through both professional attire and development workshops – and we could not be more happy to have been a part of it. It also reflects the ongoing efforts of Fernanda Parreira Menezes, our Marketing and Program Manager, to raise corporate awareness about the critical importance of implementing DEI strategies.
We can’t wait to continue working with the participants we met on this day as we welcomed them back for follow-up styling appointments and coaching sessions. Thanks again to Deloitte and all those who contributed to this Kickstarter!

Mình có thói quen thử trải nghiệm trên cả PC và mobile để so sánh. Khi truy cập vào live casino và game bài, mình thấy tốc độ phản hồi khá đều. Trong quá trình đọc thêm thông tin về v 79 mình nhận thấy hệ thống còn tích hợp thêm slot, esport và thể thao nên tạo cảm giác đầy đủ hơn. Các danh mục được phân chia rõ nên không mất nhiều thời gian làm quen. Cá nhân mình cảm thấy tổng thể được tổ chức khá hợp lý.
dn88 com cho mình một hướng quan sát liên quan đến việc quay lại nội dung cũ sau khi đã xem qua nhiều khu khác. Mình thử bắt đầu từ danh mục game, rời sang thể thao rồi quay lại để xem khả năng tìm lại trò trước đó. Khi mở Cung Hỷ Phát Tài, các chi tiết như Wild Thần Tài, ba hũ bạc và mini-game tạo ra những điểm nhận diện khá rõ. Sau khi chuyển sang khu khác, mình vẫn có thể nhớ trò này dựa trên các đặc điểm riêng. Điều mình quan tâm ở đây không phải số lượng lựa chọn mà là khả năng giúp người dùng nhận ra nội dung đã từng xem.
LLWIN giúp mình chú ý đến cách ba khu tạo những điểm dừng khác nhau cho mắt trong một phiên khám phá. Mình thường không chọn thứ tự cố định mà bắt đầu từ phần đang khiến mình tò mò hơn. Có lúc Game bài với Phỏm và Bài cào là nơi mình xem trước, sau đó Casino qua Baccarat đem đến một phong cách khác. Khi chuyển tiếp sang Thể thao, cầu lông và đua xe lại khiến cách mình quan sát thay đổi thêm lần nữa. Mình thích việc mỗi khu giữ một nét riêng thay vì mọi nội dung đều được thể hiện giống nhau. Nhờ vậy, dù chuyển khá nhiều hướng, mình vẫn dễ phân biệt từng…
go88 gives me enough visual continuity to recognize familiar areas even when I return after spending some time away. Sports and Slots still work as clear reference points, while the broader interface provides the same general direction I remember from earlier sessions. I do not feel the need to rediscover the page from the beginning before choosing something. For me, that familiarity becomes part of the browsing experience itself. Once the main structure settles into memory, returning to a regular category feels noticeably more immediate.
Go88 Club made me notice the difference between browsing casually and entering with one exact destination in mind. On this visit, I was looking for NBA content, so I used the sports section to narrow the path instead of exploring unrelated areas. I paid attention to the order of information and how quickly the category labels gave me context. Once I had found the right direction, the route became much easier to remember. For me, a useful interface should support both broad exploration and specific searches without making either approach feel unnecessarily complicated.
