Vanessa won't give you theory — she will share what actually worked. Having gone from homelessness and deep insecurity to building a thriving organization and a life she once thought was impossible for her, Vanessa shares the real, practical strategies that helped her quiet her inner critic and start trusting herself again. This isn't about faking confidence. It's about doing the inner work that makes confidence real. Vanessa will walk you through the mindset shifts, the boundaries, and the daily practices that helped her go from feeling unworthy to becoming the woman she needed when she was younger. Come ready to believe in yourself a little more than you did walking in.Guest Speaker 2: Gucci KaluCommunity is Resistance: Why Women Need WomenIn a time when many of us celebrate independence, it's easy to forget that some of the greatest advances for women were never won alone, they were won through community. In this heartfelt and thought-provoking talk, Gucci Kalu explores why solidarity among women is not simply an act of kindness, but an act of resistance. Through powerful personal stories, historical reflection, and current events, she challenges us to rethink what it means to "mind our own business" and reminds us that the rights and freedoms we enjoy today are more fragile than we often realize. This conversation is an invitation to build communities that protect, uplift, and empower every woman—because when women stand together, they become a force for lasting change.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn for updates! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/b7bfd390-9f78-11f1-a52b-970a4b5345e7-rimg-w592-h740-dc08c898-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/b7d7c860-9f78-11f1-a52b-970a4b5345e7-rimg-w592-h740-dc08c898-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 01:00 PM - 01:15 PMArrival?: 01:15 PM - 01:35 PMWelcome & Networking Icebreaker?: 01:35 PM - 01:55 PMGuest Speaker 1Host: Vanessa Wideski?: 01:55 PM - 02:20 PMConnection Circles?: 02:20 PM - 02:40 PMGuest Speaker 2Host: Gucci Kalu?: 02:40 PM - 03:00 PMOpen Networking & Closing - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/coquitlam/women-rising-summer-social/100001992661355756 - **Event Categories**: business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - door_time: 2026-08-29T19:45:00Z - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Coquitlam Library - City Centre Branch (Room 136) - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Coquitlam - **state**: BC - **country**: Canada - **location**: Coquitlam Library - City Centre Branch (Room 136) - **lat**: 49.2812916 - **long**: -122.7926492 - **full address**: Coquitlam Library - City Centre Branch (Room 136), 1169 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Women Rising: Summer Social - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/e83578fd2470fc321c542729083d9fa0b191d7b23f514b44d262d1cb79e96bca-rimg-w1200-h800-dcfcf7e3-gmir.jpg?v=1783362188 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Women Rising: Summer Social being held? - **A:** Women Rising: Summer Social takes place on Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 29 Aug, 2026 at 03:00 pm at Coquitlam Library - City Centre Branch (Room 136), 1169 Pinetree Way, Coquitlam, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Women Rising: Summer Social? - **A:** Women Rising: Summer Social is organized by Low Entropy. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
