Founder

Samantha Sarine founded Amigas Means Friends with one simple belief: that genuine connection has the power to change everything. What began as a desire to bring women together in authentic, organic ways has grown into a vibrant community rooted in friendship, honesty, and support.

For Samantha, creating spaces where women can truly see each other — in all forms and seasons — isn’t just a passion; it’s her life’s work. She loves witnessing the meaningful connections that form between Amigas, whether through shared conversations, laughter, or the spark of new collaborations.

Through Amigas Means Friends, Samantha continues to nurture a community that reminds women they don’t have to walk through life or business alone, because at the heart of every great connection is friendship.

Ambassador

Sheri Colosimo has been a long-time supporter and champion of Amigas Means Friends, inspiring community and connection at every turn. A past speaker and trusted advisor, Sheri encouraged the launch of the Amigas Ambassador program and played a key role in helping define the core values that guide everything we do—community, trust, and vulnerability.

Through her work as a leadership coach and retreat facilitator, Sheri helps individuals reconnect with what matters most in their business and their lives. She believes that when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported, they unlock extraordinary growth, authentic leadership, and meaningful change in the world around them.

We are thrilled to welcome Sheri to the Amigas Ambassador team, where her passion for connection and guidance will continue to enrich our community.

Ambassador

Kelly first connected with Amigas Means Friends through a local networking group and quickly became an active part of the community. Drawn to the group’s authenticity, connection, and support, she’s now proud to serve as an Ambassador, helping to uphold and grow the mission of Amigas Means Friends.

With a background spanning retail, event fulfillment, education, and now her work as a Benefits Advisor with Aflac, Kelly is passionate about protecting families’ financial well-being and providing care when it’s needed most.

Outside of work, she loves spending time with her husband of 33 years, their four adult children, and her terrier, exploring the outdoors, working out, and traveling. Kelly brings a thoughtful, energetic spirit to everything she does and we’re so excited to have her on the Amigas team.
