As we prepare for another inspiring International Women’s Day celebration, we can’t help but reflect on the magic of last year’s event. Our second annual “Owning Your Influence” brunch brought together a diverse group of women to connect, share stories, and celebrate the power of female leadership. The energy in the room was undeniable, and the event was a beautiful reminder of the strength we hold when we rise together.
The Theme: Empowerment Through Connection
Last year’s brunch was centered on the theme of “Empowerment Through Connection.” We believe that when women come together, incredible things happen. The event provided a space for meaningful conversations, the exchange of ideas, and the building of lifelong connections. Whether it was through panel discussions, networking, or heartfelt one-on-one conversations, the power of community was at the heart of every moment.
Speakers: Judge Shequitta Kelly, County Criminal Court #11 and Tanya Marie of Lifeoftanyamarie©
Highlights of the Day
- Inspiring Panel Discussions
Our panel of trailblazing women shared their journeys, challenges, and victories, sparking thought-provoking conversations about leadership, resilience, and breaking barriers. Topics included navigating male-dominated industries, redefining success, and fostering a culture of mentorship and collaboration. - Interactive Icebreakers
To set the tone for the day, we began with interactive icebreaker activities that encouraged guests to step out of their comfort zones and connect with new faces. These moments of laughter and camaraderie reminded us that vulnerability and openness pave the way for genuine relationships. - A Delicious Brunch Experience
Guests were treated to a curated brunch menu that celebrated diverse flavors and creativity. From decadent pastries to savory dishes, the culinary experience was a highlight in itself, complemented by elegant table settings that elevated the atmosphere. - Empowering Keynote Address
Our keynote speaker delivered an unforgettable message about the importance of embracing one’s authentic self and using personal influence to uplift others. Her words resonated deeply, leaving everyone inspired to take actionable steps in their own journeys. - Photo Moments and Keepsakes
Beautiful photo stations allowed attendees to capture memories of the day, while thoughtfully curated keepsakes served as lasting reminders of the event’s empowering messages.
Community Impact
The impact of last year’s brunch extended far beyond the event itself. Attendees left with not only new connections but also a renewed sense of purpose and motivation to create change within their own spheres of influence. Many shared their experiences on social media, further amplifying the event’s message and inspiring women who couldn’t attend.
Gratitude for Our Supporters
An event of this magnitude would not have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors, partners, and volunteers. Their contributions ensured that every detail was thoughtfully executed, from the decor to the programming, creating an unforgettable experience for all who attended.
Looking Ahead
As we look forward to this year’s International Women’s Day brunch, we’re excited to continue building on the momentum of “Owning Your Influence.” This year’s theme, “Rise and Amplify,” promises to bring even more opportunities for connection, empowerment, and celebration.
Thank you to everyone who joined us last year and made it such a special day. We can’t wait to see familiar faces and welcome new ones as we come together once again to celebrate the incredible power of women.
