This past Saturday, Isshiki Salud transformed into a space charged with confidence, community, and quiet rebellion. Hosted by Salome and her social group Good Girls Gone Social, and sponsored by Maybelline, the evening celebrated something that feels both radical and overdue: the freedom to exist without apology.
For generations, women have been conditioned to soften their edges, to preface opinions with “sorry,” to apologize for ambition, for emotion, for simply taking up space. But this night was a declaration that the era of over-apologizing is coming to an end.
Inside Isshiki Salud’s warm glow, conversation flowed between creatives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who share a common understanding: power doesn’t have to be loud, but it does have to be owned. Between sips of matcha and laughter that filled the room, the energy was unmistakable. This was a gathering of women stepping fully into themselves.
There was no performative empowerment here, no curated perfection. Just authenticity. Women showing up as they are, unapologetic and unfiltered.
Good Girl Gone Social has quickly become more than an event series. It is a movement redefining what it means to be good. Because being good doesn’t mean being quiet. It means being honest, confident, and real, even when it makes others uncomfortable.
And as Maybelline reminded guests with their signature confidence-boosting touch, sometimes empowerment can start with something as small as a swipe of lipstick, but it never ends there.
Here’s to more confidence, more connection, and a generation of women who have retired “sorry” for good.
