Brunch to pay tribute to women who have made an impact on society
On March 26, from 11 am to 3 pm at the LHCC Courtyard, The City of Miami, Little Haiti Cultural Complex (LHCC) will host their inaugural International Women’s Brunch .
In harmony with Women’s History Month, the brunch will pay tribute to modern day women whose vision and commitment have had a positive impact on their community and society at large. At the inaugural event several female honorees will be recognized with LHCC’s Visionary Award for embodying the multi-cultural spirit of the LHCC and exemplifying the potent combination of raw talent and dedication.
Among the honorees are U.S. Congresswoman Frederica Wilson, Entrepreneur Carole Ann Taylor of CulturestoGo.com, Restaurateur Michelle Bernstein, Graylyn Swilley-Woods, Associate Vice President of Business and Education Development at the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau, and Joanne Hyppolite, Curator at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
During the chef-curated brunch, accompanied by a mimosa bar and live music, LHCC will also be launching the “Pretty it Forward” initiative. It is an effort to collect gently worn dinner, cocktail, and/ or evening dresses and accessories. All dresses collected will be later featured in the upcoming Chic Mademoiselle Pop Up store.
Guest are not only encouraged to bring in their gently worn garments for donation, but they are welcome back along with the general public for an elegant day of shopping, cocktails, light hors d’oeuvres and music at the Chic Mademoiselle Pop Up store at the LHCC gallery on April 29 – 30, 2016. All proceeds collected from the re-sale will go toward funding LHCC programming.
Tickets for the international brunch are $40 in advance or $400 for a table. Please RSVP for the brunch via Eventbrite. And for more information visit the website or reach LHCC at 305-960-2969 and LHCC@miamigov.com.
