Emanu El Sisterhood to hold virtual Women’s Day event
 |
Emanu El Sisterhood invites the entire community to a special virtual Women’s Day event, Wednesday, Nov. 17, 10 a.m.-noon, “Inspiring Women Embracing Challenges.” Sisterhood welcomes two dynamic women from the diverse Houston community to share their personal stories from immigration adversities to subsequent triumphs.
Y Ping Sun is widely recognized in Houston and around the globe for her generous spirit and strong commitment to community engagement. Raised in Shanghai during the cultural revolution in China, she persevered in school while teachers, scholars and intellectuals were denounced. She graduated from Beijing Languages and Culture University and later attended Princeton University on full scholarship, where she graduated cum laude. She then earned a law degree from Columbia University.
Sun came to Houston in 2004, when her husband, David Leebron, became president of Rice University. She currently serves as a Rice University representative and is of counsel with the law firm of Yetter Coleman, LLP.
Dr. Joanna Molina Razavi is a cardiac electrophysiologist at the Texas Heart Institute and Baylor College of Medicine. A native of Tijuana, Mexico, she attended medical school at Universidad Autonoma De Baja in California, after obtaining the highest score statewide in the medical school entry examination.
Dr. Razavi then completed medical residency training at Baylor College of Medicine and became the first female international graduate of the Texas Heart Institute Cardiology Fellowship training program and the first Hispanic woman to pursue an additional cardiac electrophysiology subspecialty training program at THI. Few women choose this highly competitive career path, and she has garnered an international reputation as one of the best teachers in her specialty field.
The complimentary Women’s Day event – with registration – is a unique opportunity to learn more about these two inspiring women. RSVP by Nov. 15 to the Emanu El Sisterhood office, [email protected], 713-529-5771 or register online at emanuelhouston.org.
