Firenze: The Bridge to the Renaissance
A New Renaissance of Empowerment

Ellevate Her Firenze is more than just an extension of our mission; it’s a bridge connecting the rich cultural heritage of Florence with the forward-thinking empowerment of women today. Our Florence chapter is uniting people from around the globe with a shared mission: to empower women and create a world where they can realize their full potential.

Three visionary artists, Robert Farber, Melissa Ferrer Burke, and Myra Fiori have come together to form a remarkable trilogy collaborating with one powerful focus- WOMEN! Their works offer a commentary on society, reflecting the experiences of womanhood. Whether through a societal lens, personal narrative, or a deep passion for capturing the essence of femininity, each piece tells a story. The dialogue between their works creates a striking juxtaposition, weaving together themes of empowerment, identity, and strength.

Why Florence?

Bridging Florida to Florence through the eyes of Ellevate Her’s visionary in chief, Melissa Ferrer Burke. With over 15 years of history traveling between these two worlds, two cities, Melissa is passionate about providing women with the opportunity to experience the beauty and inspiration of Florence. Drawing from her deep roots in wellness practices in Florence and her traditional education in the arts, Melissa is dedicated to enriching the lives of single women through the transformative power of art and holistic wellness. Ellevate Her is committed to creating a nurturing and supportive community where single women can find solace, healing, and personal growth, all while unlocking their creative potential.
