Meet the City Leaders:

Johanna Lupardus

Hello, Brunch Babes! I'm Johanna, a wanderer at heart, answering the call to nurture and strengthen bonds among women. My journey has taken me across the U.S., from Ohio to Virginia, and then to Hawaii. Now, I find myself in sunny South Florida. Along the way, I've learned an invaluable lesson: a place only becomes 'home' when you find your 'tribe' – that special group of women who stand by you through life's ups and downs.

I've been blessed to have found these special friendships in my days living in other states, all thanks to this amazing community group. Now that life has brought me to South Florida, my goal is to create opportunities for us to come together, have fun, and forge genuine, supportive, lifelong friendships.

How do I plan to do this, you ask? One brunch at a time, baby! 

There's no better way to gather than over brunch and a mimosa. So, join us and let’s brunch our way through this town! Can’t wait to meet you!

My career as an educator has taken me from Seattle to Hawaii to St. Lucia to Hong Kong and Miami most recently. In my free time, I can be found learning to dance Flamenco and brunching. I love great food and great company! I am thrilled about the opportunity to meet new friends through Gals That Brunch.
