A Night of Connection, Purpose, and Holistic Wealth: The 7th Annual Women Lead Orlando

By Maha Chaudhry

The 7th Annual Women Lead Orlando (WLO) brought together a dynamic group of women at the beautiful 4Roots Farm Campus for an evening centered around empowerment, intentional conversation, and community. This year, The Dinner Party Project collaborated with Women in Wealth to bring an inspiring evening to life. 

The evening began with cocktails under the stars in the courtyard, where laughter and warm introductions set the tone. If the unpredictable Florida rain had made an appearance, the celebration would have moved indoors—but the weather held, and so did the energy.

The venue itself was a perfect choice for such an event. The 4Roots Farm Campus is a 40-acre urban farm dedicated to transforming the future of food, health, and sustainability. It brings together a melting pot of leaders alike who share a similar mission in sustainability, mindfulness and a better future overall. The campus offers event space, a greenhouse, an education center, and more.

At the heart of WLO is the belief in the power of connection around the dinner table. Each table featured a guest host to guide thoughtful introductions and spark conversations aligned with the night’s theme: Holistic Wealth. Attendees shared stories, experiences, and wisdom, creating meaningful bonds that stretched beyond business cards and job titles.

Michelle Taylor, founder of Women in Wealth and this year’s title sponsor, took a few moments to speak, bringing heart and clarity to the mission behind the evening. Her message echoed throughout the space—reminding us all that wealth is more than finances; it’s about fulfillment, purpose, health, and community.

A major highlight was the announcement of a $3,000 donation to Orlando Health’s Maternal Telehealth Program, made possible by a partnership with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and the overwhelming support of everyone in the room.

Seats for the event sold fast, with guests even inviting friends to join—an open-door spirit that speaks volumes about the WLO community.

What I find special about the dinner table concept is that prior to being seated, you are strangers to one another. But by the end of the night, everyone at the table goes from being a stranger, to a circle of empowering support. In a nutshell, one thing became very clear that night: Women Lead Orlando isn’t just an event—it’s a movement that begins at the dinner table.
