SUMMARY:About Love – 5th Anniversary! Celebrating with Photography\, Poetry and Music
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate this special date with us with a lot of attractions prepared for you! \nAbout Love Turns 5! \nCome celebrate 5 years of About Love with two immigrant women building a business and rediscovering themselves together in Canada! \nWhat to Expect: \n\nBrazilian Flavors by Minas\nInteractive Poetry Exhibition by Fernanda Botelho\nLive Samba Solo Performance by Fabio Rocha\nOfficial Debut of Hafa’s Band\, Caramellows (Brazilian Pop Rock)\nPhotography Exhibition & Interactive Art Installations by About Love\nSpecial Giveaways throughout the event!\n\n\nChildren under 12 years old do not need a ticket. \nAbout the Event: \nFar beyond a business\, About Love has grown into a movement of self-discovery. Mother\, entrepreneur\, artist\, immigrant\, leader\, woman — every layer of who you are belongs here. \nWomen supporting Women: \nBringing About Love to life taught Fernanda and Hafa the quiet strength of true female friendship. Supporting one another gave them the courage to shatter barriers and unlock doors that once seemed permanently closed. Whether it was the passage of time\, the weight of maturity\, the exhaustion of burnout\, the depth of their bond\, or all of it combined\, on September 6th\, they’ll stand ready to reveal sides of themselves that go far deeper than photography. \nThese expressions do not replace their work behind the lenses; they enrich it: \nFernanda the poet and Hafa the singer. \nWe will see you guys there! \nFernanda & Hafa \nAbout Love Photography \nCapturing the whole woman’s journey. From Women\, For Women.
