📍Orlando, Florida, July 16–19, 2025
Earlier this July, LOLA proudly returned as a partner organization for the LevelUp Orlando 2025, hosted by Objective Standard Institute’s. A four-day conference that brought together over 300 students, scholars, entrepreneurs, and activists united by their passion for reason, liberty, and personal achievement.
Held in sunny Orlando, Florida, the event featured more than 60 talks, workshops, and panels focused on classical liberal ideas, entrepreneurial thinking, and contemporary freedom strategies. It was an inspiring convergence of purpose-driven individuals, and a perfect platform for LOLA to grow our global mission: bring more women to the libertarian philosophy.
LOLA’s presence was felt from the very first day. President of LOLA USA’s Regional Team Nafisa Pierce hosted the Ladies Lunch, a curated, invitation-only gathering of LOLAs representing nearly every LOLA region: Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the United States.
This intimate event was a strategic space where LOLAs from different cultures and leadership levels (chapter leaders, regional team members, and new participants) shared their one-year visions for impact. Conversations centered on goals like reviving dormant chapters, scaling regional programs, and cross-border mentorship.
The LOLA booth, organized by Olivia Hayse (LOLA USA regional leader) and Cinthia Nieves (LOLA Guatemala), was a constant magnet for curious attendees. Dressed in LOLA’s signature pink and surrounded by materials highlighting our work in 58 countries, the booth became a space of empowerment, conversation, and opportunity.
We connected with students eager to start new chapters, professionals looking to mentor or support women in the movement, and partner organizations interested in collaboration.
Two LOLAs, Angelica Walker-Werth and Justyna Piątek-Pawłowska, were featured speakers at LevelUp 2025, offering thoughtful and empowering perspectives on liberty, personal growth, and principled leadership.
Justyna spoke on “How to Level Up All Year Long,” emphasizing the importance of actively applying libertarian and objectivist values to daily decision-making, goal-setting, and self-development. Angelica delivered an engaging talk on “How to Enjoy and Analyze Fiction Through the Lens of Purposeful, Objectivist Reading,” blending art and philosophy in a way that resonated deeply with the audience.
Their participation elevated LOLA’s visibility and reinforced our role in shaping intellectual conversations around women’s empowerment and freedom on a global scale.
