South Tampa Coffee Connections (14 Apr 2026)

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Join us for a special edition of South Tampa Coffee Connections at OXH Gallery—an inspiring morning designed for meaningful conversation, genuine connection, and a little creative spark to start your day.

Hosted inside Hyde House Public Studio, this gathering brings together women who are building, leading, and growing—whether in business, career, or life. Expect a warm, welcoming environment where conversations flow easily, connections feel natural, and you leave feeling energized, supported, and inspired.

Founded and directed by Odeta Xheka, OXH Gallery is a contemporary art space based at Hyde House Public Studio that fosters dialogue, connection, and cultural exchange through thoughtfully curated exhibitions and intimate gatherings. With a program that brings together artists, writers, and thinkers, OXH creates space for meaningful conversation around creativity, identity, and lived experience—making it a natural fit for communities of women who value curiosity, collaboration, and purposeful engagement.

At Working Women of Tampa Bay, we believe the best connections happen in spaces that feel intentional—and this is one of them. Whether you’re a first-time guest or a familiar face, you’ll find a seat at the table (and a cup of coffee waiting for you).

Countryside Coffee Connections (16 Apr 2026)

Thu, 16 Apr 2026 13:30:00 GMT

We’re bringing Working Women of Tampa Bay to Countryside Mall for a relaxed, mid-morning Coffee Connections at All Brides 2 Be—a locally owned boutique led by fellow female entrepreneur, Jessica Reyes Rios.

This isn’t your typical networking event. It’s a chance to slow down a bit, grab a coffee, and have real conversations with other women who are building, growing, and figuring it out just like you.

Set inside a beautiful bridal and formalwear boutique, this one will feel a little different—in the best way. Think meaningful connections, a welcoming space, and the kind of conversations that actually stick with you after you leave.

Whether you’re new to WWOTB or a regular, we’d love to have you there.

THIS COFFEE STARTS 30 MINUTES LATER THAN NORMAL.

Join us for a morning of connection, conversation, and real insight from women who are doing the work. We’re partnering with the Temple Terrace Uptown Chamber of Commerce for a Networking Women’s Breakfast: Wisdom from Women—and this is one you won’t want to miss.

This event brings together an incredible panel of local women leaders sharing real experiences, lessons learned, and the kind of perspective you only get from being in the room.

Moderator: Michele Northrup (SaucyQueen)

Panel Includes:
– Ami Govindaraju, Drybar Tampa
– Christina Sweet, The Main Ingredient
– Lynn Kroesen, Entrepreneur Collaborative Center

This panel brings together women who aren’t just talking about business—they’re actively building, leading, and making decisions in real time. The conversation will focus on what it actually looks like to run and grow a business today: navigating uncertainty, making tough calls, and figuring things out as you go.

Rather than abstract ideas or overly polished success stories, this session centers on real experience—shared openly and honestly. You can expect practical insight, candid perspectives, and a clearer understanding of what it really takes to move from idea to execution.

Whether you’re growing a business, building your network, or just looking to be around like-minded women, this is the kind of space where real connections happen.
