Her Story. Our Fight.
Because no woman should fight alone.

What is Her Story?
The Optical Women’s Association is proud to introduce a new resource for women in the optical industry who are currently facing or have previously faced a cancer diagnosis. Designed to keep women connected and empowered within the industry, this program offers valuable resources, a dedicated community, and a helping hand when it’s needed most. Together, we’re here to support, uplift, and inspire.
"Her Story" is inspired by the life and legacy of Claudia Garza-Robinson. Claudia's story, like many others, is one of embracing challenges, cherishing life's small victories, and, above all, inspiring others with her relentless positivity and love for optical. Her legacy continues to inspire those who knew her but radiates beyond those closest to her, especially for women in the industry who are on their own journey with cancer.
The OWA honors the memory and legacy of those who are no longer with us.
