🌟 Member Monday: Meet Erika Ferrari Lopez!

Erika is a children’s author, dyslexia advocate, community volunteer, and proud WIF connector who loves finding ways we can intersect and support one another.

"I love that my books feature a bilingual protagonist, Spanish words and phrases, and are dyslexia-friendly. They were inspired by my mom and my daughter, and I’ve loved sharing a little bit of my family through these stories," she says.

In our latest Member Spotlight, Erika shares what she loves about WIF, the power of collective giving, her journey as an author, and why Connect is the WIF pillar that resonates most with her right now.

📖 You can find Erika’s story here and get to know one of the many incredible women who make up the WIF community! https://womensimpactfund.org/member-spotlight-erika-ferrari-lopez/

As founder of The Academy of Goal Achievers, Inc (TAOGA), Courtnie Coble has spent more than a decade building an organization dedicated to developing youth leaders and preparing them for post-secondary success.

What began with 15 students has grown to serve nearly 2,000 in a single year. With that growth came recognition for the organization and its impact, but back in 2024, Courtnie herself was feeling increasingly invisible.

So, when she received a Spark Award as part of the first cohort in 2024, “it was the first time I really felt seen,” she recalls.

This year during Hispanic Heritage Month, we’ve celebrated the stories, leadership, and contributions of Latino communities in Charlotte—and the organizations that help create pathways to opportunity. And, at the conclusion of this month-long celebration, we'd like to share one more story.

For Angy Gomez, a visit to Charlotte Bilingual Learning Center began a journey that would transform three generations of her family. Through CBLC’s Workforce Development program, Angy earned her North Carolina Early Childhood Credentials, became an apprentice teacher, and ultimately returned to CBLC as a Family Educator. Today, her mother participates in CBLC’s Home-Based Childcare program, while her daughter recently began preschool there.

As Angy puts it: “My education had value. My experience had value. My story had value. And I had value, too.”

This is the power of investing in education, opportunity, and belonging—and the ripple effect one organization can have across generations.

As part of our commitment to advancing women’s leadership in philanthropy, WIF created the Spark Awards, which provide trust-based grants directly to women nonprofit leaders. Since the awards were reimagined in 2024, 28 local women have each received $5,000 to invest in their own rest and renewal.

Your support of WIF’s Annual Fund helps make the Spark Awards possible each year.
