Hi, I’m really happy to be part of this wonderful community! For anyone who doesn’t know me yet, I’m Rolanda. I’m a jeweller, a gemologist, and a certified trainer. I created a handmade jewellery brand called Rolanda Alves Jewels & Gems. Metal and gemstones are at the heart of my work. I use a co-creation approach, so customers help design their own pieces. I have a real passion for gemstones. Three years ago, I started teaching classes, and now I host workshops on gemstones, combining theory and hands-on practice, drawing on what I’ve learned as a bench jeweller and gemologist.

Hello beautiful folks of the Female Founders Breakfast Community! Naomi Mendes-Pouget (she/they) here, of two passionate Cascais Ambassadors! @Tania Timkova is my Cascais (Portugal) partner in crime! My work: I have the most fun being a beacon for the big-hearted feminist misfits, weirdos, square pegs, rebels etc., the system wasn't built for-- to drop the act & together build the new systems we need. I affectionately go by the "CUNTY" Coach. Authenticity is my favourite topic and one I've been studying formally and informally for over a decade. Combine it with leadership and it's a competitive advantage especially in today's age of AI. My current challenge: creating a sustainable and profitable, JOYFUL, energetically-aligned business model based on the above work I love to do most in this world. An ecosystem that feels alive and robust. I am recently realizing I love to speak publicly on topics I'm passionate about. I also love holding space for my people to be their whole authentic selves and we witness breakthroughs all the time, it fills me with life! So so proud of this community of badasses, and am so humbled and grateful to be a leader here. You fill me with life and hope! I love our cozy breakfasts together <3. Hope to see you soon! Message me anytime. XO Naomi
