In the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, a remarkable event unfolded on September 14th that not only celebrated resilience and strength but also marked a significant step towards healing and transformation for many women. Tasha Funes, former flight attendant for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and the visionary founder of Exclusive InFlight, in collaboration with Beyond the Hurt Organization, hosted an empowering day dedicated to supporting victims of domestic violence.
Beyond the Hurt stands as a beacon of hope and support for individuals facing the harrowing challenges of domestic abuse. This organization has been instrumental in providing survivors with the necessary resources, community support, and strength to embark on a journey toward reclaiming their lives. Moved by their transformative work, Tasha felt a deep connection and commitment to contribute her time and resources to this noble cause. “When I learned about the transformative work being done at Beyond The Hurt, I knew that I wanted to volunteer my time and energy to this organization,” Tasha shared. Her heartfelt involvement is driven by witnessing firsthand the impact of her efforts – stories of resilience that turn pain into purpose.

The event epitomized elegance and respect, treating guests to an experience filled with grace and dignity. A beautifully decorated corridor welcomed them to shop from an exquisite collection of clothing items donated by Tasha herself – all without any cost. This gesture was more than just about providing clothes; it symbolized empowerment, self-worth, and renewal. Attendees were greeted with gift bags bearing the Exclusive InFlight insignia as they walked down a red carpet, further enhancing their experience with a sumptuous lunch prepared by Cierra Conerly-Sims of SIS Events and Services.
