BE BOLD! 
Unlike the year 2020, the year 2025 isn't quite as anticipated. The world waited for 2020 but it didn't seem to happen, at least not the way it was anticipated in the vision community. It was the year we all hoped to attain visionary milestones, Vision 20/20!
Looking back, that seemed like a lifetime ago, but it was a time that seemed to steer some of what we do now. It stopped our fast paces and caused us to look around us. It triggered the birth of Not Just Brunch and many other insightful projects. Here we are five years after the world stood still, stepping out boldy with our community to gather all women in spaces that nurture, grow and uplift as we face whatever challenges life brings.
As we step out into this year’s theme,
"The Portrait of a Woman : Her Face, Fashion, Feelings, Fervor, Fortitude and Faith",
be that woman that joins us
BOLDLY!

A Message from the Founder


Welcome Ladies!

What an honor it is to be your host!
In deciding what to share, I thought about this song that I listen to ever so often. It always strikes a chord! What is the truth you believe? As we dive into the facets of a woman's portrait, the truth is that all our silhouettes will be different. the beauty of it lies in the truth that though so different, our stories, struggles, successes and secret desires are mostly the same.
Jointly, let's seek to perfect our individual silhouettes as we gather in grace to build up, support, uphold, empower, enable and ultimately be our best self. That really, is how we Not just Brunch:! Looking forward to our time together.
