Women, Beauty & Visibility
An Unfiltered Cocktail Conversation with Yomi Abiola, founder The Fem League & Dr. Marel Gomez, leading non-invasive plastic surgeon.
In a world of filters and impossible beauty standards many women face real questions about beauty and cosmetic choices — but often without full information or support. Rarely are we given space to ask questions, without shame. This is that space.
A private conversation on how to look and feel our best selves. This conversation is on self-care and confidence through the decades.

Why now?
As a former model and Italian Vogue editor, I’ve seen the beauty industry from the inside. Today, I work with women on visibility, confidence, and leadership — and I know how appearance can quietly impact how we show up.
This evening opens space for honest, stigma-free and powerful dialogue. - Yomi
As women, we carry a complicated relationship with beauty. And for too long, we’ve been made to navigate it in silence.
This evening isn’t about promoting cosmetic surgery. It’s about liberating the conversation — so we can make our own decisions with clarity, confidence, and care. Many women aren’t offered non-invasive options, especially not with a female doctor, and all too often risks are under-explained. As we all know confidence and visibility are deeply tied to how we feel in our bodies.
