#WCW with Carolina L.
Hurray! It’s another wonderful Wednesday where we get to share our latest #WCW Woman Crush Wednesday feature! We have loved letting you get to know a bit more about our fabulous team of City Leaders, from all across the country & around the world! Today’s #WCW is coming to you all of the way from Ottawa in Canada! In case you weren’t aware, we do have a few chapters in Canada, the UK, and we continue to grow!
With that said, we are so excited to introduce you to Carolina! She joined the team as the Ottawa City Leader right before the world went into lockdown and we were all told to stay at home. What’s amazing to us is the attitude that Carolina has head since she joined the team! Despite what some may call ‘poor timing’, she has remained passionate, optimistic, and committed to building a community among the women living in Ottawa as the Gals That Brunch City Leader! She has immersed herself in the community we have for City Leaders and, just like the rest of us, is excited to hit the ground running when life returns to “normal”. We can’t wait to learn more about Carolina!

Anything else you want to share about yourself?
I've had the chance to move to different places, uproot my life multiple times in places I've never been to before, far from my comfort zone. These experiences have allowed me to value the importance of community and having people to share this life we've been given. As we grow older and make life changes, making community can get harder and more challenging. I'm hoping I can make a difference and open up a new, fun way for women to meet and build meaningful community.
