Women Shaping the Future: Women’s Identity Dinner with Olha Freimut to Unite Chicago
On April 16, Chicago will host the Women’s Identity Dinner with Olha Freimut — an event that will bring together Ukrainian women in the United States around themes of female identity, inner strength, self-realization, and modern leadership.
The evening will take place at the elegant Pella Signature venue, gathering representatives of the Ukrainian community — entrepreneurs, experts, thought leaders, and women shaping the new reality of the Ukrainian diaspora in America. The event format will combine a refined dinner, public talks, meaningful dialogue, and networking among like-minded women.
Women’s Identity Dinner is not just a social gathering, but a space for a deeper conversation about a woman’s inner strength, self-worth, personal choice, and the ability to remain authentic in today’s world.
The headliner of the evening will be Olha Freimut — a journalist, TV host, and one of the most influential media figures in Ukraine, who has shaped standards of culture, ethics, and public communication for many years.
“I am counting the days until I finally arrive in the United States. Even though I’m not a big fan of flying, it doesn’t matter — what matters is that we will meet.
An event like Women’s Identity Dinner is impossible to miss. For me, it’s an opportunity to step on stage, share my experience, and, most importantly, hear Ukrainian women in Chicago and New York.
Even though the war tries to break us and scatter us around the world — we remain united. Ukrainian women are gifted with an inner strength that sets us apart. We know how to stand tall even when things feel incredibly difficult.
For me, Women’s Identity Dinner is a ritual of returning to oneself. It’s a reminder that even in chaos and moments of powerlessness, things are not as they seem. We are strong. And we are united,” comments Olha Freimut.
In addition to the headliner, Ukrainian women building careers and businesses in the U.S. will also take the stage:
Nataliia Acevedo — a mortgage lending expert,
Anna-Maria Skakodub — a real estate expert in Chicago and suburbs,
Sofiia Moroz — founder of Brulee Cake Boutique,
and Nicole Plaskonis — a beauty colorist with over seven years of experience.
The evening’s flow and atmosphere will be guided by hosts Artur Shalak and Sviatoslav Lukynych.
The musical ambiance will be shaped by live and electronic performances, featuring Millennium Band and DJ/artist Verni Muba.
The general partner of the event is Laccura Medical Group — a premium space for preventive and aesthetic medicine, where evidence-based science meets modern technology and a philosophy of beauty, health, and longevity.
At the heart of the evening are topics that resonate deeply with modern women today: confidence as the foundation of career growth, etiquette and self-respect in daily communication, self-esteem and partner choice, as well as maintaining individuality in the world of social media.
“For us, Women’s Identity Dinner is more than just an event. It is a space where Ukrainian women in America can feel support, the strength of community, and a return to themselves,” says Tetiana Dudiak, co-organizer, producer, and co-founder of ESTE GROUP LLC.
“We are creating this project as a platform for inspiration, new connections, and inner support. Olha Freimut is a voice that inspires, and it is a great honor for us to bring this evening to life together with her,” adds Anastasiia Nezdropa, co-organizer and co-founder of ESTE GROUP LLC.
“We want every guest to receive their own impulse — that very breath of inspiration that helps move forward, feel strength, and unity,” comment co-organizers Sviatoslav Lukynych and Alex Balbus.
The event will take place on April 16 at 6:30 PM.
