Pensacola-based business Plaintiffs’ Gambit (in collaboration with #MELMICHE) recently hosted an amazing night of relaxation, fun and networking for women in the Pensacola community who are coming together to make a difference and empower one another as women. The two leading ladies of “MelMiche” – which is run by local businesswomen Melanie Luna and Michele Schamberger- have a goal to “EMPOWER ALL WOMEN” no matter their age, educational background, and/or ethnicity. They aim to create events that allow women to fellowship, network and grow with one another in a judgment-free zone.
“At #MELMICHE, we truly believe you can make a difference by listening and working behind the curtain. The limelight and applause is not what it is about,” MelMiche states on their Facebook page. “Creating relationships, bridging gaps, bringing resources to those who might not even know they are available…THAT is what needs to be showcased and placed in the limelight!”
The “Girls Night In” event was meant to encourage local women business owners to network, be vulnerable and authentic, and feel good about themselves through treating themselves to a night of sisterhood, pampering and prizes. Attendees were all smiles and left the evening looking and feeling amazing!
