“We opened the business with our modest personal savings and a lot of sweat equity. We were turned down by traditional banks but were able to secure a loan from WEV that led us to today, celebrating our 10-year business anniversary. I am grateful to be able to give back to the community who has had such a profound impact on my business. Joining the League of Extraordinary Women is more than a mere donation, it not only represents a milestone in my business journey, but a dedicated investment in a future where women are empowered to reach their extraordinary potential.”
