Truly a momentous day shared by a community of brilliant women in the stylish surrounds of Camilleri Paris Mode. Guest speakers Jo Caruana, Carla Grima, Vanessa Coleiro and representing our hosts Mara Camilleri shared with us their personal journeys of successes and failures while opening our eyes to the reality of entrepreneurship and how sometimes dealing with constant demands requires self-management and self-care ultimately.

Delicious refreshments were prepared and served by the ladies at Flora’s. Audiovisuals by PowerHouse – Audiovisuals & Events, Photography by Majda Toumi and Videography by Agnes Gramala Filmmaker.
