As I left that day, I carried with me a sense of empowerment and inspiration. The bonds formed, the wisdom shared, and the support given were invaluable. It was a reminder that in a world where competition between women often reigns, there is immense power in collaboration and sharing our journeys.

India Hicks, the powerhouse motivational speaker and all-around amazing woman, graced Newport with her presence last Spring. And let me tell you, it was a sight to behold. Coordinated by Andrea at Coastal Events Consulting- this event was inspiring, motivating and let us all feeling a little more powerful.
Picture this: a room full of fabulously dressed women hanging on every word that India so warmly delivers. It was like a scene from a movie, but better because it was real life. Listening to India Hicks is like getting a shot of inspiration straight to the heart. She's like a walking, talking pep talk that leaves you feeling like you can conquer the world (or at least your to-do list).
Her words echo across the globe, inspiring women with genuine narratives that empower, drive, and embolden us to unveil our authentic desires and purpose.
Cheese Please!
Upon booking this event, I felt a surge of excitement and of course a touch of nerves. Only two months into launching Fig & Fromage, the pressure was on to impress the esteemed women of Newport and the tablescape Queen, India herself. The venue, a stunning privately owned Bellevue home, provided a 12' rustic wooden dining room table for me to adorn- (a charcuterie dream!) Every inch of the table was filled with cured meats, artisan cheeses, rustic accompaniments, appetizers, and more. The table quickly became a focal point, drawing all the guests around to indulge. It's fascinating to witness how a charcuterie spread effortlessly brings people together, sparking conversations like, 'Have you tried this!?' and fostering connections as they savor both new and familiar savory delights.
An Empowering Atmosphere
My heart lightened with relief as the fabulous women and India approached me, showering me with compliments and engaging in meaningful conversations. It was a gathering of empowering women, each one exuding grace and strength. In that moment, I realized the power of community and the impact of women supporting women.
The Power of India Hicks
It was a testament to the vision of India Hicks and the events she creates. Bringing women together, regardless of where they are in their entrepreneurial journey, to share advice, stories, and camaraderie. From the novice entrepreneur to the seasoned professional, each woman found a place at the table to connect, learn, and grow.
