PALM COAST, Fla. – Bold Ladies is about far more than networking—it’s about lifting up local talent and strengthening the community from within.
“Bold Ladies is more than just business to business. It’s really about let’s showcase these business owners’ talents,” said Founder and Executive Director Ana Reyes-Ouzts.
The April Bold Ladies in Business – Flagler Chapter “Bloom Boldly” meeting, hosted at Pointe Grand Apartments, brought together members, supporters, and residents in a vibrant setting that sparked both connection and opportunity. According to Reyes-Ouzts, the event not only generated sales for vendors but also attracted new members who were inspired by the organization’s mission.
“I think it’s important because now the community gets to see that we’re not about selling, that we’re about giving back. And that truly is the core of why we started,” she said.
A cornerstone of each monthly gathering is its commitment to philanthropy. In April, the spotlight was on The Garden Club at Palm Coast, which received a $1,000 donation.
“So it really was a whole collaboration of giving back. And then the residents here get to see what we do. I’ve seen them shopping, so many people. ‘Oh, I want to be part of Bold Ladies,’ because they didn’t know about this. It’s a nice full circle,” Reyes-Ouzts added.
The impact of that generosity resonated throughout the room.
“What an incredible impact,” said Bold Ladies member Rachelle Faulk. “This year, our hearts are focused on supporting children. Thank you, ladies, for showing up with generosity and purpose. We are truly blessed to be part of such a powerful group of women who lead with love and give back in such a big way.”
