About the Event:

When communism fell in Central Europe in 1989, Gabriela was devastated. Everything her entire life was built upon proved to be a lie. Who was she to trust? Where was she to go? She didn’t even know what was real anymore. The shock of her world turned upside down as a young, impressionable teenager catapulted her on a journey of exploration. On the outside, she lived a life of spontaneity and adventure, which led her to America, and a whirlwind storybook romance. On the inside, her true journey to freedom was only beginning! She will be joining as an author, and as an entrepreneur. She will be discussing her book, which includes her journey to becoming an entrepreneur.
