Description

Do you have a passion you want to turn into a career?
Are you struggling against the odds to make your dreams come true?
Do you feel overwhelmed by the number of things that require your
attention in the little time you have in your day?

No matter your background, it’s likely you can identify with the thrill of a
hobby you’re passionate about, the doubts behind wondering if you have
what it takes to follow your dreams, and the pressures of daily life.
That’s why we’ve invited Dr. Chris Wachira, the first Kenyan-
born, Californian winemaker to share her story with you. From early
struggles as a young immigrant working her way through college to earning
her doctorate, Dr. Wachira had audacious dreams.
She fell in love with science early on and translated that love to the science
of winemaking. But it wasn’t all science. Dr. Wachira developed a deep
appreciation for the sense of community built around sharing a bottle of
wine with complete strangers. The elixir brought people together and she
saw a need to help with that.
But her path was not easy fighting for equity and succeeding through
adversity. Hers is an inspiring story of triumph; the type that we could all
use more of these days.
Join us for an extraordinary evening of sisterhood and storytelling on
August 26th, starting at 5 PM. Save your spot today.

Due to the recent mask mandate, this event will be held virtually on Zoom at
5 PM. Make this evening more magical with a wine tasting kit to sample
some of Dr. Wachira’s tasty vintages as we exchange stories and enjoy our
community of remarkable women.
Wine tasting kits are available at 4 PM ahead of the event from Karibu Wine
Lounge at 1419 Park Street, Alameda CA 94501.
