The LCAHouston 7th Annual International Mother’s Day Soiree was held at Asia Society Texas Center, May 17th, 2019 with “Crazy Rich Asians” as this year’s theme.
International journalist and TV Host, Ruchi Mukherjee who started her career as a crime beat reporter in India, is also the host and founder of The Annual International Mother’s Day Soirée. KHOU 11 anchor Rekha Muddaraj served as co-chair.
The event's inspiration came from a series of stories Mukherjee wrote for The Statesman and The Times of India on the Fabulous and Philanthropic Mothers of Houston.
“The mission behind this event is to bridge the gap between the ethnic and mainstream communities,“ explains Mukherjee. "Each year, a dozen mothers of various ethnicities and professions are honored to showcase diversity and celebrate motherhood. The Asia Society Texas Center, which is an architectural marriage of east and west, is the perfect venue for the Soiree’s vision."
This year’s list of Honorees included Sadaf Aslam, Liza Bailey, Tammy Gee Su, Courtney Zubowski Hass, Samantha Holsomback, Sheekha Sethi Khan, Fadila Kibsgaard, Peta Gay Ledbetter, Sofia Ojeda, Escarle Silvia, Melissa Wilson, and the 2019 showstopper, Hallie Vanderhider.
Dr. Sippi Khurana and KPRC 2 meteorologist Justin Stapleton, served as the event's emcees.
Past Honorees from the Houston media includ Dominique Sachse, Britta Merwin, Rashi Vats, Casey Curry, and Miya Shay.
