As most of you know my two older children attend St. Joseph School on North Capitol Hill. This is a community where I have built a solid group of parent friends, and a place where I have met so many women who are killing it as entrepreneurs, artists, and savvy business owners. Even outside of school, I have always felt the warmth of females dominating in business. Seattle is a place where dreams grow into reality.
I take great pride in supporting these entrepreneurs who contribute not only to our local economy but also to our vibrant community. Every purchase helps empower these talented women and fosters a sense of unity among us all.
Join me in exploring the diverse offerings from these inspiring businesses as we make a conscious effort to uplift and promote women entrepreneurs in our area, and tell them I sent you!
