The Sorella Circle is a visionary initiative founded by the dynamic and passionate Melanie D. Gorrell, born out of a deep desire to create a transformative space for women and girls. With an unwavering commitment to inspiring, empowering, and uplifting women, Melanie envisioned a platform where their brilliance could be celebrated, their aspirations mentored, and their needs supported through acts of generosity. What began as a dream within her inner circle quickly blossomed into a movement shared with women and girls from all walks of life.
Fueled by collective determination, Melanie’s sisters rallied behind her, embracing the empowering journey together. The Sorella Circle now stands as a beacon of hope, courage, and possibility—transforming lives and communities by mentoring, hosting empowerment events, and extending support to the homeless and helpless. The circle is not only about gatherings; it's about building a strong community where women feel seen, heard, and valued, and where those in need are lifted up with compassion and care.
Through mentorship, celebration, and unity, The Sorella Circle is igniting flames of inspiration and resilience, transcending boundaries, and transforming lives. Together, we are embracing the boundless potential of sisterhood, where dreams are nurtured, ambitions are realized, and every woman and girl is empowered in her magnificence.
“ I wanted to create something special—a space where women and girls feel seen, heard, and valued. The Sorella Circle isn't just about events and donations; it’s about sisterhood and empowerment. I believe every woman has the potential to rise, and together we can make that happen while extending our love to those in need. This is my heart, my mission, my ministry, my passion, and I am blessed to see it grow.”
