About this Event
For women and newcomers building a life, career or business in Canada, there are conversations critical to success.
Sometimes, the gap between potential and progress is what we haven’t yet learned about relationships.
Wisdom earned through building
Join Femme Alliance Network (FAN) for an intimate Brew & Bloom gathering featuring Pastor Dee Adekugbe, founder of Ruth’s House and Mandela House and author of 50 Things I Wish I’d Known About Relationships.
Having built from the ground up, Dee brings a perspective shaped by community leadership, service and lived experience. Her latest book explores lessons in self-worth, boundaries, communication, healing and the choices that shape our connections.
Together, we’ll look beyond making connections to ask a deeper question:
How do we build relationships that can sustain our lives, businesses and growth for the long run?
The conversations we’re opening up
- Reciprocity: When does this mean in healthy career, business and personal relationships?
- Business partnerships: What should you understand before committing your name, money, time or reputation?
- Discernment: How do you distinguish a warm connection from someone you can build with?
- Repair: Which relationships deserve an honest conversation and another chance?
- Connection: Which friendships, mentors and professional contacts should you keep warm—and how?
Expect honest reflection, meaningful connections and questions that stay with you long after the gathering.
