Board of Directors
Meet our Team of Caring People
Love is Learning and Growing Together, Honoring our own Strengths and one Another's too.
Katie Cavuto
President & Founder
Katie is passionate about providing loving one on one care to all those in need. In fact, her career has been one of service in a variety of ways as her intention has always been to help people thrive and to provide them with the tools they need in a kind and loving way. As a Registered Dietitian and Chef she has provided in-patient acute care and in-home nutrition support to people across the life-span including working in-home with breast cancer patients for many years. She is a Certified Yoga Teacher and Social and Emotional Learning Specialist, skills she has used as an educator in schools and leading and developing personal, corporate and non-profit wellness programs. She was the lead Dietitian for the Philadelphia Phillies for nearly ten years and she owned and operated a successful Meal Delivery Service and Cafe that served the greater Philadelphia Area. Honoring You is a culmination of her life experiences with the goal of providing personalized, loving care to families, individuals and children in need, celebrating them and the team of people supporting the organization.

Erica Chen
Director
Erica Chen is a speaker, coach, and community builder who’s passionate about helping families. She’s the founder of Unicorn Dynasty, a space created for first- to third-generation women navigating the intersections of motherhood, identity, and ambition. Through honest conversations and meaningful connection, whether it’s in community spaces, leadership, or systems, her focus is always the same: create real, positive change.
​
With over 15 years of experience building communities, including 8 years leading We Work, Erica brings both structure and soul to her work. Her approach blends strategy with empathy, and she leads from the belief that acknowledging your own needs is the first step toward creating spaces where others can feel seen, supported, and valued.
​​
Erica believes in the mission of Honoring You because she has seen firsthand the lack of support families receive during the most tender moments of birth, loss, and everything in between. The kind of care this organization offers fills a deep gap, reminding us that in the end, it’s love that carries us through.
