And She's Doing It!

Inspired by Women's History Month and the Netflix documentary, She Did That!, sash•anne designs is creating space for aspiring and emerging entrepreneur women to inspire and celebrate each other on our journeys. It's great and important to hear from successful entrepreneurs, but it's also great and necessary to connect with others in the early stages of their entrepreneurial journey. We can learn so much from each other even if it is just to know we are not alone! This event will begin with a conversation between a panel of emerging women entrepreneurs, then there will be an opportunity for open discussion among all attendees. Space is limited.
