This year marks the 14th year of the Vanessa Baez Memorial Women’s Brunch, an event created to remember the short life of Vanessa Baez, a mother, daughter, and sister who demonstrated extraordinary courage while battling sarcoidosis. Each year this brunch fosters a growing sisterhood of creative and inspiring women in Miami joined together while “Celebrating Everyday Women With Extraordinary Courage.” The brunch includes a delicious buffet and cocktails, amazing raffle prizes, and an exciting and entertaining live auction. This year’s brunch will be at the elegant BRAVA by Brad Kilgore and will feature 2017 America’s Got Talent Semi-finalist and singer-songwriter Yoli Mayor as the Guest Speaker.

The Vanessa Baez Memorial Women’s Brunch is the closing event of the Spoken Soul Festival, a volunteer-run 3-day event supporting local women artists in support of international SWAN Day (Support Women Artists Now). Proceeds of this fundraiser support the Spoken Soul Festival. This year the brunch is also donating to Yoli Mayor’s choice orgainzation, the Chiera Family Foundation, a local charity that raises hundreds of thousands of dollars to help kids fighting cancer.

The Spoken Soul Festival’s Production Team and the Host Committe invite you to join us for a beautiful day full of love, laughter, and lifelong sisterhood. You can learn more about our sponsors, host committee, guest speaker, and more on our website.

Host Committee Members: Ana Corrales, Betty Llorente, Loni Johnson, Marie Vickles, Rebekah Lengel & Terri Johnson
