## Caption

Meet this week's #MainerMonday feature: Adele Masengo Ngoy, the President and Founder of Women United Around the World and the founder of two Maine based fashion design businesses.⠀
When Ngoy came to Portland as a refugee and single mother in 2000, she couldn’t speak English. “It was very challenging until I could do my art and my work.” Ngoy worked to support other immigrant women who lacked the skills to find the well-paying jobs that are necessary to building new lives in Maine. The Women United Around the World organization promotes the leadership development of other female immigrants. ⠀
