Bellevue businesswomen are set to take center stage at a local conversation aimed to spur Economic Empowerment. The Cultural Conversations event aims to highlight female entrepreneurship and leadership within the Bellevue business sphere, as reported by a recent announcement on the City of Bellevue's official website. Slated for Monday, May 20, from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Lighthouse Center Community Room, this gathering will feature the shared journeys and insights of four local leading women.
Those interested in the dialogue are encouraged to quickly to secure their spots on Eventbrite, as this event is expected to draw quite a crowd. The evening will provide a platform for attendees to connect, discuss, and learn from successful women in various industries, with a side of small business resources courtesy of Bellevue's economic development team.
Among the featured speakers, Richa Rai, Bellevue resident and entrepreneurship expert, will offer global mentoring experiences. According to the Bellevue website, Rai will be joined by Miwa Leick, a Financial Advisor credited with expertise in international business; Quyen Dang, owner of FogRose Atelier which boasts inventive desserts and teas; and Van Pham Chloe, who runs a chic downtown salon and is known for mentoring future stylists.
The event falls under the umbrella of Cultural Conversations, an initiative that has fostered community ties since 2010 through storytelling in a "safe space" for connection. The event seeks to not just share triumphs but to also inspire new avenues of economic empowerment among attendees. The City of Bellevue's promotional materials promise that the audience will "hear amazing stories" and may be encouraged to embark on business ventures of their own. A short video with further details has also been released to facilitate a greater understanding of what the event will entail, findable on the Bellevue's website.
