Empower Her: A Celebration of Women, Culture, and Connection. This vibrant brunch gathering brought together ELLA alumni, friends, and community members in a beautiful celebration of sisterhood, identity, and empowerment.

Held in the cozy, chic atmosphere of The Brass House, guests arrived dressed in their best brunch vibes, ready to engage in intentional connection and affirming conversation. A heartfelt thank you to Maria Cortez for leading our Empowerment Circle with such grace and power, helping us ground ourselves and lift each other up through meaningful reflection and dialogue. From affirmations to shared laughter, light bites, and collective joy, the event reminded us of the strength found in community and culture. We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us and made the day so special!
