“I feel connected to BlacMéra right from the start,” said Riza. “The originality of Yuliana’s masterpieces reflects her true talent, passion, and creativity. She is a devoted world traveler, and you can see the cultural nuances she encountered during her travels in all her designs. Coming from a multicultural background myself, I understand her message.”
These two inspirational women share similar will, passion and vision for the environment, women, and children. They are the next generation philanthropists and social workers. Riza is the founding member and the President of Alberta Coastal Protection Foundation with the goals to provide financial and technical assistance to developing countries towards preservation of coastal regions.

As the newly crowned Miss World Canada Riza dedicated her campaign to raise funds for Variety – The Children Charity which works toward inspiring hope, enriching lives, and building a better future for children who have special needs.
Since launching her couture label BlacMéra over a year ago, Yuliana has pledged to donate 10% of its profits to multiple charitable beneficiaries including Charity Water, UNICEF TAP Project, and Maasai conservation programs in Tanzania. She has personally implemented field programs on location for the Maasai tribe in East Africa, bridging solution gap between the natives and the national government. Yuliana served in the Board of Director for United Nation Association of San Francisco Chapter in 2010, and she is currently serving as UNICEF's ambassador for its TAP Project.
In following her lifelong passion Yuliana is launching the BlacMéra Foundation.
