Planted with Purpose (She CAN Brunch)

Planted With Purpose celebrates the next generation of leaders, creators, and changemakers. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, storytelling, and reflection exercises that reinforce self-awareness, resilience, and goal setting. This event creates a safe, inspiring space for young women to ask questions, share experiences, and learn from mentors who have “grown through it” themselves.

The gathering emphasizes three pillars:

1. Self-Discovery: Recognizing personal strengths, values, and passions.

2. Empowerment: Building confidence, self-advocacy, and resilience.

3. Community: Connecting with peers and mentors to create a supportive network.
