"SLC has provided me with incredible networking opportunities to help me grow my business. In the true spirit of "sisterly love" I have found friendship and mentorship, which in turn have led to funding and national exposure for my business."

"SLC is movement that celebrates me in all my iterations. As a baker, mom, wife, sister, friend entrepreneur and dreamer, I am accepted, seen, motivated and supported. From SLC's leadership to each talented member, I see a bit of who I am and more importantly, who I want to be. My confidence has soared, my dreams have grown and my vision is crystal clear due to the SLC community. "
