Donor Feature: Bliss Books & Wine

La’Nesha Frazier and La’Nae Robinson - avid readers, wine lovers, community champions and sister-owners of Bliss Books & Wine are the epitome of empowered women and are phenomenal supporters of our mission. They said, “United WE’s mission aligns with several of the principles that we support as founders as well as individuals, including building up our communities and the local ecosystem, using our voices to become changemakers and influencing policy, removing barriers, and providing representation across demographics.”

The impact of our work especially resonates with them. “United WE provides positive, measured and sustainable transformations; addressing barriers and disparities, lessening pay gaps, increasing leadership roles, and implementing strategies for change.  There is no denying the immediate and long-term effects of their efforts; the impact is in the numbers.”

La’Nae and La’Nesha make supporting other women a part of how they live their lives, personally and professionally. “We've helped other women over the years by collaborating with women-owned businesses, vendors, authors and artists; introducing them to new audiences and shining the light on their talents and works of art.  Last year during Women's History Month, we partnered with United WE to host the PublisHER Book Fair featuring rising female authors, which took place a KC Wineworks, a woman-owned winery. 

“We often consider contributing to United WE as making investments into ourselves and our peers.  It shapes the programs and policies that impact not only our lives and our journey but also our community as a collective.”
