Hi everyone! I'm Zheng Keer Ami, a linguistics student from Hong Kong, and I'm thrilled to be joining the Female Founders Breakfast team as an intern here in Lisbon! I'm currently studying linguistics at City University of Hong Kong, and my career aspiration is to become a speech therapist, especially supporting children with special educational needs. I'll need to build something of my own one day. That's where FFB comes in! As an intern, I'm nervous yet excited to learn, contribute, and soak up as much as I can from all of you. I'm particularly enthusiastic to support the community, whether that's through events, content, or just helping behind the scenes. I'm really looking forward to connecting with you all, learning from your stories, sharing mine, and growing together in this supportive and inspiring space.

“What carried those women to the top was other women. The very thing we were trained to treat as a threat is the thing that lifted them.” - Susan Hyatt This coach I follow (and was trained by) shared a really important story and sentiment in an email this week and I wanted to share screenshots because it is such a great reminder of what we are building here. Not only are we here to see more women+ rise, but we are here to see us all do it together. Let’s be generous with each other. The patriarchy made it up, this notion that women are competitive. It was only ever a survival mechanism, it’s not real. We are collaborators. So I want to ask you, can you shout out someone in the community you can recommend or speak kindly about ? Or is there someone you are excited to get to know better and potentially collaborate with or support? All and any kind words count. ❤️💜

COMMUNITYYYYY we have a really exciting announcement! For our Breakfast next week on Thursday, June 18, we have an absolute POWERHOUSE of a guest coming to share her story with us!! We cannot wait to welcome Chitra Stern, founder of Martinhal and United Lisbon International School !!! Please grab your ticket now if you haven’t already! It’s happening at Luna House Cascais at 9am ❤️ She built a brand that marries family vacation with luxury where it didnt exist. She opened an international school because she identified the country needed one for more foreign investment. She stood on the TedX stage TWICE and spoke her truth. All because she dared to audaciously dream. Let’s give her a warm Female Founders Breakfast Cascais welcome !!! ❤️❤️❤️ and as always, I cant wait to connect with you all and hear what’s current for you in life and business! 😍❤️🫂 grab your ticket ! https://luma.com/s1skqepm

I'm Jelena - Serbian, freshly settled in Cascais, and very happy to be here. My path has been a bit zigzag: ~7 years as a frontend developer, then a leap into yoga teacher training in India, contact improvisation, and somatic movement work. All of it pointed me toward what I'm building now. What I'm building: Syncira, a cycle-aware daily guidance app for women. It blends my tech skills with my love for cycle awareness, somatics, and treating the female body as wisdom rather than a problem. Web MVP is live; mobile app is in progress. What I'm exploring/struggling with: how to build and fundraise as a solo founder without losing the embodied, slow, intuitive way of working that actually makes me good at this. Also - the very real logistics of being a new resident in Portugal while doing all of the above. Really looking forward to meeting all the wonderful women in this community. Hugs to all 🌿
