Attending the Ladies of Liberty Alliance (LOLA) leadership retreat in Washington, D.C. as a participant representing LOLA Asia was an experience that touched me at a profound emotional level. It’s hard to put into words just how impactful this retreat was. From the moment I arrived, I felt a powerful sense of belonging and unity. The women I met, from around the world, exuded passion, strength, and determination. We came together as strangers but left as sisters. The retreat provided an incredible space for us to bond, share our stories, and support one another in our personal and professional journeys in advancing liberty. The guidance and mentorship provided were not just informative but deeply inspiring.
I’ll never forget the emotional moments during our group discussions, where we shared our fears, aspirations, and dreams. We cried, we laughed, and we uplifted each other. It was a safe and nurturing environment where vulnerability was celebrated, and our shared experiences connected us on a profound level. As I left the retreat, my heart was heavy with gratitude. I had formed connections with women who had become like family to me. The emotional impact of this experience extended beyond the event itself. It was a beautiful reminder of the power of women supporting women, and I’m forever grateful for the love and empowerment I found at LOLA.
