WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — In an age where genuine connection often takes a back seat to digital interaction, Sip. Sing. Speak. is redefining what it means to gather. More than just an event, it is an immersive social experience designed to bring people together through meaningful conversation, live music, elevated dining, and community.
Making its debut at Robby’s West Hollywood, one of the city’s newest destinations for food, entertainment, and nightlife, Sip. Sing. Speak. creates a welcoming space where strangers become friends, creatives find inspiration, and every guest is encouraged to engage beyond the surface.
The evening begins with Happy Hour featuring Chef Robby’s signature creations and handcrafted cocktails before transitioning into the event’s signature Women’s Empowerment Panel. This thoughtful discussion brings together accomplished women from diverse industries to share their personal journeys, lessons in leadership, and perspectives on navigating success with authenticity.
The inaugural panel features an inspiring lineup of trailblazing women:
Robyn Charles—singer-songwriter, music executive, Web3 innovator, and daughter of the legendary Ray Charles—offers insight into preserving a powerful family legacy while forging her own path in entertainment and technology.
Fanny Axen, founder of Abridge Entertainment Group, shares her expertise in artist development, business strategy, and building sustainable careers within the entertainment industry.
Dr. Thela Thatch, a global equity strategist and executive leadership expert, brings a wealth of experience in advancing inclusion, leadership, and organizational transformation on an international scale.
PoetroniGirl, celebrated spoken word artist whose poetry appeared on the iconic television series Moesha, rounds out the conversation with powerful reflections on storytelling, creativity, and using art as a vehicle for empowerment.
Unlike traditional panel discussions, Sip. Sing. Speak. is intentionally interactive. Guests are invited to participate in authentic conversations, ask questions, network with fellow attendees, and celebrate one another through a special “Giving Flowers” segment that encourages gratitude and recognition.
As the evening unfolds, the atmosphere shifts into celebration with karaoke, transforming the venue into a lively space where attendees can let loose, sing their favorite songs, and continue building connections long after the panel concludes.
The event is the vision of public relations strategist and community curator Monique Montgomery, whose passion for creating impactful experiences inspired the concept.
“Sip. Sing. Speak. was created because people are craving genuine connection,” says Montgomery. “We wanted to build an experience where people don’t just attend an event—they leave having met someone new, learned something valuable, and felt inspired to share their own story.”
Hosted at Robby’s West Hollywood, the event reflects the venue’s commitment to bringing together exceptional food, hospitality, and unforgettable experiences. Together, the partnership introduces a fresh cultural gathering that blends thoughtful conversation with entertainment in one of Los Angeles’ most vibrant neighborhoods.
As West Hollywood continues to evolve as a destination for culture, creativity, and nightlife, Sip. Sing. Speak. offers something refreshingly different: an evening where every voice matters, every conversation has purpose, and every guest has an opportunity to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
Whether attending for the insightful discussion, the networking opportunities, Chef Robby’s cuisine, or an unforgettable karaoke performance, guests can expect to leave with new connections, fresh inspiration, and memories that extend well beyond the evening itself.
Sip. Sing. Speak. isn’t simply another event—it’s the beginning of a movement centered on conversation, community, and celebration.
