I was a secret poet for most of my life.Despite years of public speaking and a career spent building businesses from the ground up, sharing my poetry felt too personal. I wrote to process heartbreak, hope, and everything in between, but I kept those words to myself.That changed three years ago when I made a quiet promise to show up. I began attending open mics across South Florida, searching for spaces where poetry, not performance, was the focus. Where vulnerability was met with presence. Where poems could breathe.But nothing like that existed in Fort Lauderdale. So I created it.Wild Bloom Poetry is one of the ways I bring my mission to life. Through my brand, Bloom by Stella, I create tools that support intentional living—from guided poetry experiences to the PLANT Your Life Planner, a reflection-based planner designed to help people live with clarity and purpose.Whether you come to speak, listen, or simply feel something true, you’re welcome here.Because wild blooms weren’t planted. We bloomed anyway.Mic’s open. Hope to see you there,Stella AmadorAuthor, Poet, Speaker & Event CuratorLearn more at:https://dot.cards/stella_amador  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/92b2b340-2c1b-11f1-a34b-ab2ddfdabbf9-rimg-w1110-h740-dcffffff-gmir.jpg Nestled among the palms and blooms of a 1920s Las Olas garden estate, Emily’s Garden is a restaurant like no other. Whether we're gathering inside the beautifully decorated historic dining room or beneath the stars in the lush garden, the setting transforms every gathering into a memory.Our culinary bouquet features collaborations with local favorites like On the Run Coffee Bar, River Café, and Tacos El Machine Gon. In-house, we fire up Roman-style pizza from our outdoor Piaggio Ape Oven and serve charcuterie alongside a medley of steak and seafood entrées. The result? A rotating menu that’s always inventive, fresh, and crave-worthy.In addition to being the new home of Wild Bloom Poetry, we offer craft wine, local brews, and DJ sets during our lively weekend brunches. Unwind at our weekly happy hour, explore exclusive vintages with Emily’s Wine Club, and join us for monthly events like garden yoga and open-air farmers markets.Let your senses wander and your palate bloom at Emily’s Garden, where every gathering grows into something special.
