PINK, POWERFUL & PURPOSEFUL: In Celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness

The room radiated confidence, compassion, and community as women from across the Emerald Coast came together for our Ladies Leadership Luncheon – Lunch with Leaders: “Pink & Powerful” Edition, held on October 22 at The Alice in Destin.

The event, themed around breast cancer awareness, was more than just a luncheon; it was a heartfelt celebration of resilience, empowerment, and connection among women leaders, business owners, and change-makers.

Inspiring Voices That Moved the Room

Our guests were treated to an afternoon of powerful insights from three remarkable keynote speakers whose stories inspired courage and authenticity:

• Dr. Amy Maule & Katherine Eberly – Evolve Aesthetics and Wellness 30A

• Alison K. Nazarowski – Brightline Title, LLC & Cava and Cakes 30A

• Shanna Star Perret – Davista Photography
  

Each shared a personal message about growth, balance, and purpose, reminding everyone that true leadership begins with self-love and a desire to uplift others.

Moments That Shined

Guests enjoyed a stunning pink-themed luncheon, beautifully hosted at The Alice, complete with exquisite food and heartfelt fellowship. The tables were set with care, the laughter was contagious, and the energy was electric, a reflection of what happens when women come together to celebrate each other’s light.

The event reached a high note with a special live performance by Sarah Again, whose soulful voice filled the room and left guests inspired and moved.

Our Signature Barbie Photo Booth Experience

One of the afternoon’s highlights was the exclusive Barbie Photo Booth, brought to life by Shanna Star of Davista Photography. Ladies arrived in their best pink looks — from vibrant dresses to sparkling accessories, capturing radiant photos that celebrated both fun and feminine strength.

Outside, another powerful statement awaited: our Ladies Leadership signature wall, where attendees proudly signed their names on a pink-wrapped car, symbolizing unity, awareness, and unwavering support for those affected by breast cancer.
