BECAUSE OF HER
Stories about the women who have shaped our lives
There are women who leave a mark on us…
sometimes over years, and sometimes in a single moment.
Sometimes it’s obvious, and sometimes it’s quiet, but it stays with you.
On Wednesday, May 13th,
Once Upon a Woman returns with an evening of real,
personal stories about the women who have impacted our lives…
often in ways we didn’t fully understand at the time.
This time, we’re stepping into a new space at Twist Gallery… and it’s exactly the kind of space this community has grown into. It’s fresh, it’s beautiful, it feels a little more elevated. But the heart of the night isn’t changing. The connection in the room, the honesty, the way a story lands and you catch yourself thinking… that’s me too. That part stays.
And yes, there’s a little "twist" to the evening.
This time, we’re creating a more relaxed, cocktail-style experience…
designed for connection, movement, and conversation.
Doors open at 5:30 PM,
so you can come early, take your time, and settle in.
Your ticket includes a beautiful charcuterie spread by
Brie and Fig, with a cash bar available. It's a different flow...
one that gives you space to connect, meet new people, and take in the gallery before we begin.
We begin promptly at 7:00 PM…
and then we let the stories take over.
This isn’t about performance or being polished.
It’s women, standing up and sharing something real,
in a room that knows how to hold it.
This evening is for women of all ages and backgrounds who want to feel something, connect, and maybe even see a piece of themselves in someone else’s story.
