As Melanie raised her glass, the room erupted in applause. But her eyes held a deeper fire—a resolve to dismantle the walls that confined women in the bartending world. She spoke, her voice steady:
“This celebration signifies a crucial step towards fostering inclusivity and recognition of talent, regardless of gender, within our industry.”
