detroit bound

In less than two weeks, the Women Owned team is heading to Detroit for the WBENC National Conference & Business Fair , and we are so excited for the opportunity to meet more women entrepreneurs, showcase Women Owned products, and continue to build our movement of support for Women Owned businesses.

We have several exciting things planned, including a Women Owned Pop-Up Shop , a Tiny House filled with Women Owned products, and a Women Owned booth at the Business Fair featuring samples, tastings and giveaways. (Want to join in the fun? There's still time to register!)

And stay tuned: in the coming weeks, we will be introducing some fun new merch to help you show support for Women Owned businesses, including t-shirts, mugs and tote bags.

FAIRY LICEMOTHERS

"People usually define success by how much money they have accumulated. I define success by how many people leave my business with a smile on their face and peace of mind that the issue was taken care of properly. I believe if you are passionate about what you do the financial success will follow. Don’t look for a job that makes a lot of money. Do what you love and it will all fall into place."
