As a child, Aneesa planned elaborate birthday parties for herself with invitations, timelines and decor. Little did she know the years of "practice" would pay off! The things she loves most are spending time with family and friends, musical theatre, community service, blankets, Dr. Pepper and all things chocolate. Aneesa graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a Music Education degree, and her theatre background equips her with a loud and clear speaking voice for directing the wedding party and guests, the knowledge of how to run a rehearsal and the musical ear for perfectly timing the processional. She is 99% extraverted (ENFJ), which allows her to joyfully interact with vendors and guests for 12 hours straight with a smile on her face. She is excited each and every weekend by the challenge of running a wedding perfectly to the timeline (or even ahead of schedule), while creatively addressing any last-minute surprises that may arise. Aneesa still gets giddy as she sends the couple down the aisle, cries at the sweetness of the toasts and begins to miss the couple when she lines them up for their exit. Further, Aneesa has a passion for South Asian, fusion and multicultural weddings. She loves the opportunity and challenge of blending two cultures, religions, families and people together to create a unique and meaningful celebration! She enjoys focusing on full-service weddings so she can build a deep connection with the couple where they all truly become family. Aneesa is happy to travel anywhere around the world to help you bring your dream wedding weekend to life! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408726065-4HAGREAVIBRYRSKAWVWA/1B+-+2026-02-03+12.56.32.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408726354-6TYXGGGOHX9H1FDD7C5O/1A+-+2026-02-03+12.45.32.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408727265-CBMDAZKWZ8VB8Q2YD9OU/1C+-+2026-02-03+12.49.35.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408778644-C6GU6FH58GLFPW33YDT6/2B+-+2026-02-03+12.53.34.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408780373-TT0HZ9VJZ5U4CGYNBVQA/2C+-+2026-02-03+12.46.15.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408842027-980JG0VI8HLU8LU35ZVJ/3A+-+2026-02-03+12.52.08.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408842170-FANIG6R5KNSPL32UH0BP/3B+-+2026-02-03+12.48.27.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408843162-G7W6QZVCK5AEYTY2489T/3C+-+2026-02-03+12.48.38.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/11f6a83c-e3e4-48bf-a1b9-f5ac74c7c9a7/4+-+2026-02-03+12.59.24.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408997335-LW8SGSVMFBTHR90G810D/5A+-+2026-02-03+12.50.46.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408997311-WRH6UMKLEE9G74OQIILR/5B+-+2026-02-03+12.51.13.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408998514-J4VII33XY2NMM7O4QCU2/5C+-+2026-02-03+12.55.35.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770409033561-GAM27C1M4RUEEXDXP21S/6A+-+2026-02-03+13.00.04.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770409033523-7T59SOAUQGHFNIMV7AKB/6B+-+2026-02-03+12.54.58.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770409067446-GPFAU1CY66GXJB3SAGOW/7B+-+2026-02-03+12.47.14.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770409067042-2NHJIIHSQXDOXAOIHPW1/7A+-+2026-02-03+12.50.30.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770409068308-58T92SRHP00L6COZOH2L/7C+-+2026-02-03+12.49.51.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1770408573799-9V00CW5W2PA2LMJVNWW2/Blog+graphic+-+Aneesa.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Aneesa Johnson https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-melissa-gratias monthly 0.5 2026-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1767373006067-UWOLXKRSS7A0L23Y3K2D/Copy+of+Light+Green+Template+-+Blog+Post+%281%29.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melissa Gratias https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/e4095271-37c0-4f46-bb63-79fc57400d26/Headshot++for+Melissa+Gratias.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melissa Gratias - About Melissa Gratias Dr. Melissa Gratias is a productivity specialist who was not born organized.

A first-generation Indian-American, Reena was inspired by her trailblazing parents, who risked it all for the life they wanted for their family. Growing up, she watched her mother build her career, run their household, and manage the family finances - something nearly unheard of for a woman at that time. Reena's parents instilled the values of hard work, community, and simply being a good person. These same values have contributed significantly to Reena's success and continue to drive her today. While Reena has roots in India, she calls Raleigh home with her husband, Ward, and children, Raja and Naya. When not working with clients, Reena enjoys spending time with her family, first and foremost, traveling around the world with friends and relaxing at North Carolina's beautiful beaches with all her favorite people. Delynn Alexander is a Co-Founder and Private Wealth Advisor at Aria Financial Services who has dedicated her career to helping people write the next chapter of their financial story and is frequently recognized by Forbes as one of the top wealth advisors in the country. Inspired by the trailblazing women who came before her, Delynn found her path early in life. Growing up, she remembers ­­­­watching her mother pursue financial security for their family as a financial representative with Northwestern Mutual. Her mother served her clients with passion and diligence, a legacy Delynn proudly carries. Delynn has roots in Dallas, where her mom, nieces and nephew reside, and calls Raleigh home with her husband Mike and kids Ellie and Lucas. Whether at the beach in North Carolina or spending quality time in Dallas, she is happiest when surrounded by those she loves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/f8915e3f-db73-4382-9cf0-9f89d5bb073f/1+-+2C5A1738.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759504741050-3XSU7KE0T4EWHP80ULHG/3A+-+IMG_9083.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759504740807-C784BRSBERIUUWIA98HO/3B+-+IMG_9082.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759504798569-1D77E4N52ZW4B95APK2N/4A+-+IMG_9084.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759504798818-QJ042FU3T5QCM42T83OZ/4B+-+IMG_9078.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/9a49b740-d294-4db3-9c16-2867eb26a82a/5+-+2C5A2110.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759504905588-AFXU6YLR5JVOTGW7R2HP/6A+-+IMG_9079.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759505000106-ZXG4PP8CEGLG8XQUAFNP/6B+-+IMG_9085.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759504907455-UNL2M1SXKFINLYUG1Y4M/6C+-+IMG_9076.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759504908647-MNEN2YEE5CL68QZEK9LA/6D+-+IMG_9077.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1759503158779-RYPK1C40Q601NOQ4DKW6/Blog+Graphic+-+Aria+Financial.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Reena Bland and Delynn Alexander https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-terry-bradley-dunn monthly 0.5 2025-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1757098938870-J68CAL4WX6L3IO1RKRP4/Dark+Teal+Template+-+FFFFF+-+Blog+Posts+%281%29.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Terry Bradley Dunn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/f420fb18-d658-410d-96e3-a7368d826949/Headshot+-+Terry+Dunn.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Terry Bradley Dunn - About Terry Bradley Dunn Terry Bradley Dunn is a distinguished leader, organizational strategist, and celebrated advocate for women business owners in North Carolina, renowned for her expertise in board authority, effective governance and economic empowerment initiatives.

About Mimi Soule As owner of Soule Employment Law Firm, Mimi Soule is an employment attorney and management advisor. Mimi left traditional employment litigation practice and established Soule Employment Law Firm to focus on providing business owners and managers with practical advice to help avoid costly litigation. She specifically focuses her practice on providing employment law and human resources compliance advice, preparing employment-related contracts, defending employers against administrative claims, and – most importantly – developing customized internal management systems and procedures, with built-in legal compliance, that help small businesses effectively manage staff to avoid disruptive performance management headaches and legal claims. Prior to founding Soule Employment Law Firm, Mimi practiced with Hedrick Murray in Durham, Ice Miller (then Schottenstein Zox and Dunn doing business as SZD Wicker) and Schneider Law Group in Raleigh, and the national firm of Epstein Becker & Green, P.C. in Washington, D.C. Although enjoying city life in D.C., Mimi moved back to Raleigh to be close to family”. Mimi graduated cum laude with her B.S. in business from Wake Forest University. After, she graduated with honors in litigation and dispute resolution from Boston University School of Law. Supporting approximately 1000 small businesses across the state of North Carolina, Mimi was voted one of Business North Carolina’s Legal Elite by her peers for years 2013-2025 and was selected for NC Super Lawyers in 2024-25.

About Melinda McVadon Melinda McVadon is the Co-Founder of Mojo Brand Magic, where she excels as a branding specialist. As an award-winning journalist and news anchor for 15 years, Melinda McVadon discovered her love of telling stories. When she moved into management, the station ownership recognized her for her ability to run the newsroom, but her passion moved her from journalism into non-profit fundraising and community awareness, where she helped organizations craft messages to increase their funding, volunteer engagement and community presence. With her friend Donna North, Melinda formed a company that went gang busters… until it didn’t. At which time, they joined NAWBO to connect with other women business owners, learned about what those women needed from a marketing standpoint and started Mojo Brand Magic. With NAWBO, Melinda became a committee member and, then, chair of NAWBO Charlotte’s gala for 2 years, increasing attendance and support for the event as well as leading to a term as Chapter President in 2022-23. Having started Mojo Brand Magic in 2021, Melinda uses the knowledge she garnered as a broadcast journalist and successful fundraiser to share with clients that a powerful message can mean the difference between success and failure. Not only does she know that the magic is in the messaging, but she also knows how to help solopreneurs and small business owners find the magic within their messages such that they can attract the customers they want. As an entrepreneur, Melinda knows how critical it is to have qualified leads brought in through effective marketing to grow your business. Using her own trial and error, she has created a program that dramatically shortens that process for others, helping do what she loves most… “making dreams come true.” When you trust Melinda’s expertise, you really understand how “The magic is in the message. Find your magic; grow your business!”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/9ff6c2ea-480e-4acf-a197-3df1a35ea61b/1+-+D+%26+M+hat+w+Scarf-2_MR1.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Guests at A Place at the Table enjoying some delicious food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/d03df33e-a2f8-4254-8678-04ecd0bb4e73/2+-+June+2024+Advocacy+in+DC.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Guests entering and ordering at the restaurant in Downtown Raleigh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/6e12c903-c62b-4cb2-b546-3764b60ab478/3+-+Melinda+and+Emily+at+Governor%27s+Mansion.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/57ab338c-4d19-4f1a-bd96-74b12f9cb4ac/4+-+Artsy+Image+from+Advocacy+Days+2024.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/48836bd6-5b82-4cb8-afcf-c24c8fbc0d6f/5+-+Melinda+with+Family.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/d32dd140-4553-4544-a4a0-2d8cf4994e6c/6+-+March+2025+NC+advocacy+lunch.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/9b423f2e-40c7-48cb-9f50-4341f74dcf59/7+-+Melinda+and+Emily+after+concert.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Andrew, Director of Operations, alongside some tasty offerings from A Place at the Table https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1c62237e-5bf2-4414-ba12-98cda1751544/8+-+NAWBO+Chapter+of+the+Year.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Some of A Place at the Table’s amazing lunch offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/2258cb9c-0f4f-49a2-a806-40b305117ee2/9+-+Leadership+Conference+in+Charlotte.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1749236304199-2FMB4CZCLI2DZQFQ7Q7R/Blog+graphic+for+Melinda.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Melinda McVadon https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/benefits-of-getting-organized-on-world-organizing-day monthly 0.5 2025-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1756010859335-0QQHP4IECXB8UF3EOUX3/Dark+Green+Blog+Graphic+-+Template+%285%29.png Blog - The Many Benefits of Getting Organized https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1756010889505-IB12KRSNU518687H81XG/Dark+Green+Blog+Graphic+-+Template+%285%29.png Blog - The Many Benefits of Getting Organized https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-syrena-williams monthly 0.5 2025-06-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1746301179682-7KVOYHUPFAW01DRR02QK/Light+Teal+Template+-+Blog+Posts+%285%29.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Syrena N.

Her one and only goal is to help each client feel calm and confident when looking at your business bank account. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/6c3f0883-30d8-4c88-afbc-91b817cb3d47/1+-+2025-04-03+13.42.33.jpg Blog -

After graduating from the journalism school and then the law school at UNC-Chapel Hill, Elyssa practiced law and photographed weddings and portraits on the side for several years before taking her “side hustle” full time and leaving the law behind. Having started Kivus & Camera in 2015, Elyssa will soon celebrate 10 years as a professional photographer by photographing 10 couples celebrating their 10th anniversary this year so, if that describes you and your partner, please reach out to Elyssa. Plus, in 2023, after having photographed many boudoir sessions on location, she opened the Triangle Boudoir Studio in downtown Raleigh with a mission to help women embrace their present selves. WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT TRIANGLE BOUDOIR For anyone thinking to themselves, “I’m not the boudoir type”, there is no such thing.

Her artistic process began as a child learning to value travel and cultural experiences with her family and exploring wines of the world in more recent years. Lindsay cultivated her passion for art at Sweet Briar College where she received a bachelor’s degree in Art History and an Arts Management Certificate. She furthered her studies at Georgetown University with a master’s degree in Art and Museum Studies. As part of the program at Georgetown, she also spent a semester studying decorative art and design at Sotheby’s Institute in London. Since then, Lindsay has worked in prestigious art galleries, owned a professional photography company and managed an antique shop while interning in both nonprofit and for-profit galleries and museums. In addition, she earned a level one Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) sommelier certification from Johnson and Wales University. Lindsay’s travels across the globe sparked her a vision for Vita Vite – Raleigh’s beloved wine bar + art gallery – where her two passions for wine and art could intertwine. Vita Vite comes from the Italian words for “life” and “vine” – the idea of life revolving around wine and food, and how they bring people together in a common space of appreciation for the beautiful things that can enrich life. In 2015, Lindsay founded Vita Vite Downtown followed by Vita Vite Midtown in 2018. Vita Vite has secured accolades such as Best Wine Bar, Best Place to Grab a Glass of Wine and Best Place for a Girls Night Out. Lindsay’s accomplishments earned her the Triangle Business Journal’s prestigious 40 Under 40 Award along with its Women in Business Award. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/e38f7092-62c1-4574-9de0-2ae904b0e07c/1+-+NZ+supper+pic.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice - Make it stand out Guests at A Place at the Table enjoying some delicious food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/dc47924b-94b2-4560-964b-804484450a69/2+-+bar+image.JPG Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice - Make it stand out Some of A Place at the Table’s incredible breakfast offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/a99333a1-6e6e-45d1-a136-1584ab72d534/3+-+image0.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice - Make it stand out Guests entering and ordering at the restaurant in Downtown Raleigh https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/b2c8ccb6-6e46-4a6c-9b45-91c2e7b42b1b/4+-+christmas+wine+glass.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/ebf5e37c-7382-4a52-8e88-fc5f2fdaf407/5+-+24993099_10104050535830536_4093199864757144548_n.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice - Make it stand out Andrew, Director of Operations, alongside some tasty offerings from A Place at the Table https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/d847b5b0-7bd8-4f62-9f20-2b4e87c72a4c/6+-+VV+Midtown+main+bar.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice - Make it stand out Some of A Place at the Table’s amazing lunch offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/ef71ca54-974d-44f3-9bd1-20bbf9cb832a/7+-+Lindsay+Headshot+1.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice - Make it stand out All the ways to enjoy a meal in community at A Place at the Table in Downtown Raleigh, NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1733520552286-GROBEEZ5DSMP6EWNWXA2/Copy+of+Dark+Purple+Template+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Lindsay Rice https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/managing-business-family-mental-health monthly 0.5 2024-11-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1732747841632-WZMISD8UW5PGFHBL0X1M/Dark+Green+Blog+Graphic+-+Template+%281%29.png Blog - Managing Business, Family and Mental Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/c9d8b494-904c-4100-9d8e-2bb598c8a022/Nov+2024+NAWBO-GR+Speakers.jpg Blog - Managing Business, Family and Mental Health - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1732748133996-HO55G92XECI41DFIR6RR/Untitled+design.png Blog - Managing Business, Family and Mental Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1732748148158-PKL0HXNSDZ7U2TIWBZ1G/Untitled+design+%281%29.png Blog - Managing Business, Family and Mental Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1732748181778-WJWDSHXOACDNSDKHU821/Untitled+design+%282%29.png Blog - Managing Business, Family and Mental Health https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1732748223206-6QATK5EQBCA5AJXZ7Y69/Dark+Green+Blog+Graphic+-+Template+%281%29.png Blog - Managing Business, Family and Mental Health https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/your-vote-your-voice-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1732757819835-T40BE6OFNRSOV6EEDQAT/Light+Teal+Template+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - Have You Cast Your Vote?

Kristen is a graduate of the NC State University College of Design and lives in Raleigh with her husband, Steve, and two children.

First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson - About Sonya Hopson Sonya Hopson is the CEO and Founder of Hire-Strategies with over 20 years of experience in the staffing industry. Sonya understands the challenges that come with recruiting and identifying the talent needed to support growth and achieve revenue objectives. She truly enjoys helping others advance their careers and matching talent with the right opportunity. Her main intention is to focus on the greater good of all. Sonya’s determination comes from principles, integrity and her commitment to building futures together. Sonya Hopson has been featured in the Triangle Business Journal as an Executive Voice, with Hire-Strategies being noted as one of the Triangle’s Top Employment Services Providers, and a Fast 50 recipient for 2017 and 2019. Sonya holds a Master of Business Administration from Strayer University and a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Fayetteville State University. Sonya has experience in the staffing, recruiting, account management and leadership space going back to 1998. At Hire-Strategies, Sonya keeps her vision aligned with values in her role as CEO. Her other core responsibilities include ensuring client relationships are thriving, overseeing HIRE’s business and banking relationships, and business development initiatives. Sonya frequently finds herself in peer groups where she observes a significant gap in leadership opportunities for women of color. Recognizing this disparity, her ambition is to establish a series of initiatives aimed at fostering leadership among underrepresented groups. Sonya is driven by the desire to persuade companies to implement leadership programs specifically designed to nurture and develop the potential of women of color, who often lack leadership experience not due to a lack of capability but because they haven't been provided with the opportunity. By demonstrating to corporations the substantial benefits of incorporating diverse perspectives within their leadership teams, she aims to highlight how diversity enhances decision-making processes and overall company performance. Sonya's ultimate goal is to create a tangible, successful model within her own organization that exemplifies the positive outcomes of this inclusive approach to leadership. Since 1995, Sonya has passionately transformed her staffing, recruiting, and industry organizations through strategic talent acquisition and by enhancing team culture. With extensive experience working for staffing agencies in the Durham area from 2017-2023, Sonya is deeply passionate about promoting diversity in leadership, being an advocate for women and minorities holding leadership roles. Her dedication extends beyond her professional endeavors as she actively participates in Leadership Peer Groups, such as Vistage and the North Carolina Executive Roundtable (NCER), to champion diversity in leadership circles. Additionally, Sonya contributes to her community by mentoring and coaching young women and girls, reinforcing her commitment to positive change. Beyond her professional achievements, Sonya is in the process of writing a book titled "Chasing Peace," aimed at helping individuals understand the impact of childhood trauma on their present lives and overcoming self-imposed limitations. As she approaches the completion of her manuscript, she looks forward to transitioning into motivational speaking, aspiring to inspire a broader audience through her insights and experiences. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/de3ec7e7-eb82-4cae-abcf-2574205b53b3/1+-+Z55_5463.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson - Make it stand out Guests at A Place at the Table enjoying some delicious food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/f86d3abe-40de-44ef-9a3a-339d969e3163/2+-+2024-05-03+07.48.37.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson - Make it stand out Some of A Place at the Table’s incredible breakfast offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1714760490729-DUMB7343D9M8YW0B3R2D/3A+-+2024-05-03+07.47.43.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1714760490750-WRV6LEXJSSVL0Z3093JL/3B+-+2024-05-03+07.48.00.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1714761021504-A2IF5IQ8FX2JYIA2HGZ4/4A+-+2024-05-03+07.59.48.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1714761021796-TGTEHBELGLS1D58O4E3Z/4B+-+2024-05-03+07.59.18.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1714761023229-AF9SRRPC6XD8GM1Z9GZP/4C+-+2024-05-03+07.59.12.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/b5c7f414-42fc-4c9a-aef1-239c18b2f694/5+-+2024-05-03+07.49.45.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson - Make it stand out Some of A Place at the Table’s amazing lunch offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/b26ee597-ee2d-40bf-a4d9-1120bc456ddd/6+-+Sonya+and+daughters+outside+in+color.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson - Make it stand out All the ways to enjoy a meal in community at A Place at the Table in Downtown Raleigh, NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/679e0009-7a6a-4666-9d1e-34f1adbe656a/7+-+2024-05-03+07.44.46.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1714758314440-6WHQKXKON1FLWNI7WQKS/Blog+post+graphic+-+Sonya.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Sonya Hopson https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/lessons-from-raleigh-chamber-visit-to-atlanta monthly 0.5 2024-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1720483071340-7BSFCXNW5Y86Y7WQ7VMZ/Light+Purple+template+-+Blog+Posts+%286%29.png Blog - Lessons from Raleigh Chamber Visit to Atlanta https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/e78f6e5e-d604-4cca-9072-211008e568b4/2024-04-05+21.18.34-1.jpg Blog - Lessons from Raleigh Chamber Visit to Atlanta - Make it stand out Attendees of the Raleigh Chamber’s Inter-City Visit and Leadership Conference wrapped up our time in Atlanta with a Braves baseball game https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1720483175026-SMPUUYODLQUFPNDYI144/Light+Purple+template+-+Blog+Posts+%286%29.png Blog - Lessons from Raleigh Chamber Visit to Atlanta https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-kaitlin-stammetti monthly 0.5 2024-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1712306131325-TXY9D0ZRGZOHH7UY63XN/Blog+header+for+Kaitlin.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kaitlin Stammetti https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/07c17ad9-9c3a-4264-8a7e-50329490ff9c/Headshot+for+Kaitlin.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kaitlin Stammetti - About Kaitlin Stammetti Kaitlin Stammetti is a vibrant redhead whose zest for life infuses every aspect of her work.

Yes, this Powerhouse Parks made it to the final table in an effort to support Lung Cancer Initiative at this year's Galentine’s Day Poker for Charity event, but it was Big Stacks Stanford who brought home the big bucks, playing for Step Up Ministry.

Open for nearly 10 years, Bittersweet focuses on seasonal, high-quality ingredients from local growers. The cocktail and pastry menu changes four times a year with a strong focus on gin-based cocktails. Kim is most proud of Bittersweet’s amazing employees and a level of success that affords employing four full-time pastry chefs. Johnson Street Yacht Club is a downtown dive bar with super chill drinks and all the joy that comes from the aforementioned slide. Prior to opening Bittersweet, Kim had her pastry catering company bittycakes for over 10 years. She spent several seasons selling baked goods at the Carrboro Farmers Market and providing daily pastries for Café Helios in downtown Raleigh. Before becoming an entrepreneur, Kim spent time in New York working for designer Betsey Johnson and later as a fashion editor and writer with several magazine publications including Seventeen Magazine and Playboy. She is a Raleigh native, graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill and regularly humbled by her two teenage and young-adult children. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/890f460d-cd2c-468a-ad61-14026f22d3f2/1+-+2024-02-02+10.03.09.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer - Make it stand out Guests at A Place at the Table enjoying some delicious food https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/870e223c-2eb6-422b-a743-5acfffcf8161/2+-+2024-02-02+10.07.37.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer - Make it stand out Some of A Place at the Table’s incredible breakfast offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1706897065011-0XTU5LG7V6THIJ1I1TPM/3A+-+2024-02-02+12.02.05.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1706897065205-34IYK64LM5M8KHMIRZCU/3B+-+2024-02-02+09.55.25.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/25393177-cea6-4f60-93ad-04c09c9b2538/4+-+369063076_806123458180912_5641330039378659902_n.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer - Make it stand out Andrew, Director of Operations, alongside some tasty offerings from A Place at the Table https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/ba8b7d70-5dab-48cd-b9db-fa31f215bed6/5+-+2024-02-02+10.00.09.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer - Make it stand out Some of A Place at the Table’s amazing lunch offerings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/bd51eb01-72e7-4973-9c03-38abefb4eb9f/6+-+2024-02-02+10.08.37.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer - Make it stand out All the ways to enjoy a meal in community at A Place at the Table in Downtown Raleigh, NC https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1706898413392-URNMCRCNBQQTI4DLGYON/Blog+graphic+for+Kim+Hammer.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kim Hammer https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/joy-as-2024-word-of-the-year monthly 0.5 2024-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1720465689226-2317YBX2J4HR10D2B76D/Light+Purple+template+-+Word+of+Year+-+Blog+Posts+%281%29.png Blog - What is Emily's Word of the Year for 2024? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/f912f2dc-d3f7-4b80-9547-de2006b6502f/Word+of+the+Year+-+2024.png Blog - What is Emily's Word of the Year for 2024? - Make it stand out Emily Parks’ word of the year for 2024 is JOY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1720465846558-S8D3HWXPCCCJI16980TY/Light+Purple+template+-+Word+of+Year+-+Blog+Posts+%281%29.png Blog - What is Emily's Word of the Year for 2024? https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-brit-guerin monthly 0.5 2024-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1704476844260-U1QE9GDRSGJIGNNLEBDT/Blog+graphic+for+Brti+Guerin.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Brit Guerin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/09656450-a75e-47c2-ba1f-f922333975c5/BritGuerin-43pp+%281%29.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Brit Guerin - About Brit Guerin Brit Guerin (she/they) is a licensed mental health therapist, fitness professional, and the co-owner of Current Wellness, a wellness center in downtown Raleigh, NC.

She received both her undergraduate degree in Psychology and her master’s degree with a focus in Counseling from the University of Florida. She enjoys working with adolescents, college students and adults on a range of issues but primarily around helping people untangle limiting beliefs, undo unhelpful patterns and heal from hurtful experiences to help build a healthier narrative that makes room for wholeness, connection and personal freedom. The issues that a majority of her clients seek her out for are surrounding areas of depression, anxiety, life transitions, communication, body image, race and identity. She is inspired daily by her clients' life stories of hope, resilience and courage. In her work and what she chooses to practice personally, she’s passionate about self-care, emotional intelligence, using the Enneagram as a tool of self-discovery, assertiveness, social justice and the value of connection along with vulnerability.

Sometimes, it's as simple as sharing an article with someone for whom I think the information will be helpful or valuable. Sometimes, it's remembering others' birthdays. Sometimes, it's grabbing coffee (or brunch, which is my favorite) or sending a quick, hand-written note. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1720458714546-4OFPV5F1S2ALVAHJ4AD1/Dark+Green+Blog+Graphic+-+Template.png Blog - Determine Your Superpowers https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-amy-cipau monthly 0.5 2023-11-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1700680735111-AJZTGZ02Y3Z8PBZU362F/Copy+of+Light+Teal+Template+-+Blog+Posts+%281%29.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Amy Cipau https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/fe2729e7-8cdc-4da5-b773-1268beaafc85/Headshot+for+Amy+Cipau.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Amy Cipau - About Amy Cipau Amy Cipau spent 25 years in the pharmaceutical industry, including Burroughs Wellcome (now GSK), in leadership roles primarily in marketing, communications and business development.

She likes to think she's always been passionate about communication; in elementary school this showed itself as Ds in conduct (it was always ‘Too much talking…’), but it later showed up in high school debate and mock legislature, facilitating difficult diversity conversations as an Orientation Leader and RA in college as well as parent/teacher conferences as a young Teach For America corps member. These days, it shows up most often in the films created by the Big Dog Little Bed team for clients (and for fun), but, at its core, it’s really still all about communication. Past experiences working with high-performing schools and teachers have helped to calibrate high expectations, and she still loves any chance she gets to work in the world of education. She truly believes Maine is #thewaylifeshouldbe, and dreams of one day running away there. Her pup, Layla Bean, keeps her Instagram full of #pupcontent along with any/all sweet pups up for adoption. On a daily basis, she feels incredibly grateful to have found a career that still feels a lot like a hobby. In addition to telling stories with Big Dog Little Bed productions, Janice is passionate about creating welcoming spaces as an AirBNB superhospt at Cozy Rock Cabin in Freeport, Maine, at Cozy Cabin in Boone, NC, and at Cozy Camp in Sebec Lake, ME. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/976c4eab-e7cd-49cc-a9aa-6e05607ae275/Brand+Image+1+-+BDLB.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Janice Smith - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/d6fabbc5-311f-4068-a410-81a6d8b1c272/Brand+Image+2+-+BDLB.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Janice Smith - Make it stand out Emily Grey of The Flourish Market and The Locality https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/63d2eae0-2499-4786-832f-00868134654a/Brand+Image+3+-+BDLB.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Janice Smith - Make it stand out Jenelle Botts of Jenelle Botts Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/ea8cbf08-c432-4dc7-bafc-a97c8bea6eae/Brand+Image+5+-+BDLB.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Janice Smith - Make it stand out The Mears Family in spring https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/da648049-b1c0-43a7-af89-d6bff2e9540d/Brand+Image+6+-+BDLB.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Janice Smith - Make it stand out Jenna Little of Jenna Little Wellness https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/d929b987-432c-487a-9be2-5c7ee18712bb/Brand+Image+7+-+BDLB+Mom+with+dog.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Janice Smith - Make it stand out Janice’s mother with one of her precious pups https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1693589084206-YQXAK50MM7RO42ANR0CH/Blog+Graphic+for+Janice+Smith.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Janice Smith https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/nawbogr-susan-hager-legacy-award monthly 0.5 2023-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689388728795-B9CB2V5MURYEW7OPO0D5/Dark+Green+Template+-+Blog+Posts+%284%29.png Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689402152940-B94Z1D2UZL3VLZLNE46R/IMG_2085.JPG Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689390162094-LMSHG3F392HCRXIGL4NJ/IMG_2078.JPG Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689390168765-11X4HQSB8ASR250D9TNB/IMG_2079.JPG Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689390177883-A4NQ0KFKXN31XBPE929H/IMG_2080.JPG Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689390418214-TI46LICHANBGZCLHLGG0/IMG_2084.JPG Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689390424761-TK9QCKMUJY6L8KT2YPO5/IMG_2083.JPG Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689390430757-SLRFC806J3K5SMYF2578/IMG_2081.JPG Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689402217599-OS0Q4NCJ63XDKOSRWILI/IMG_5440.jpeg Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/79e27a37-d06d-41c4-a9fd-850789735aa9/23-24+NAWBO-GR+BOD.jpeg Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1689388782340-RXZGC5LZR2HEO7X044US/Dark+Green+Template+-+Blog+Posts+%284%29.png Blog - Grateful to the National Association of Women Business Owners https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-amy-paulson monthly 0.5 2023-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1688739348255-4B2ZG06XFDMIKOLRMMKB/Blog+header+graphic+for+Amy+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Amy Paulson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1255cff4-a0de-47f2-a7f9-da7970a281da/0+-+Amy%27s+headshot.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Amy Paulson - About Amy Paulson Amy Paulson is a story-teller. She’s been in love with people’s stories her entire life, and designing a photography experience around that love has been one of her greatest joys. In every wedding or photography session, she gathers with each client in a manner which enables you to be SEEN as the wonderful gift that you are. Through joy-filled prompts and time-stopping invitations, you have the chance to be your beautiful self.

However, like many who miss the beauty and significance of things that are familiar, Kay pursued other passions and interests before coming back to her plant roots, leaving her home in North Carolina to pursue a degree in dance and, eventually, going on to New York City to see what opportunities she could find. While working at a garden center in Brooklyn, Kay felt the calling of coming home to clean air, earthy goodness and feeling the dirt underneath her fingernails. In a COVID-19 pandemic pivot, Kay joined her family at Haven Farm, launching a mobile plant truck. Since then, Kay has expanded upon the foundation of the mobile plant truck to include interior plantscaping and maintenance, events in her family’s Haven Farm greenhouse, succulent martini workshops as well as Door Dash plant deliveries. As explained on her site, Kay welcomes into her shop “all who are looking to invite life into their space”, and that mission shows in everything Kay does along with all she offers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/69a827b2-b282-4e14-bd4b-be5e7c00b596/4+-+Kay+hanging+plant.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kaylynne Leggett - Make it stand out Kaylynne Leggett working in the greenhouse at Haven Farm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/dcbe1b3e-3a1c-4b17-bb27-b313747c4dd1/5+-+Door+Dash+example.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kaylynne Leggett - Make it stand out Houseplant Hippie products can now be purchased for home delivery via Door Dash https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/ded57404-7ea1-4d35-b7d0-73d573ea5a30/6+-+Kay+with+her+mom.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kaylynne Leggett - Make it stand out Kaylynne Leggett with her mother, Leslie Logan Brown https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/8d4854c7-bb90-4edf-817c-49c1d91c022e/7+-+Plants+1.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kaylynne Leggett - Make it stand out Kaylynne Leggett offers a wide variety of options to meet your plant needs through Houseplant Hippie. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1660354145023-GIP3HAULSUOTL0RYKB65/_Blog+graphic+-+Kay+Leggett.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Kaylynne Leggett https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/personalize-your-productivity-solutions monthly 0.5 2022-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1660370680393-R7W1YIWRQV8K4YX4RGOF/28+-+Whoopi+Goldberg+for+Facebook.png Blog - How Do You Personalize Your Productivity Solutions? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1660371035287-VK5LEIFI9ERKLSS27WEQ/Dark+Green+Template+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - How Do You Personalize Your Productivity Solutions? https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-maria-glenn monthly 0.5 2022-08-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1656693882574-8HYN1ZV7T58Q2QGZX1BQ/_Blog+Graphic+-+Maria+Glenn.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Maria Scimeca Glenn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/4daf2eb1-c0b8-4181-8cc1-f9306fd52b1b/MariaG-071.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Maria Scimeca Glenn Maria Scimeca Glenn, PCC, is an executive and leadership coach who has a passion for inspiring leaders to get out of their own way and realize their full potential. She has a special interest in developing high-potential talent and helping organizations navigate change. A Merck & Company veteran of 25 years, Maria is all too familiar with corporate quandaries. Many leaders struggle with the balance of being fully connected with their people while remaining beholden to the bottom line. The goal of her coaching is for her clients to be extremely successful without having to sacrifice optimal fulfillment in their roles or equilibrium in their lives. In 2017, after a wealth of experience at Merck which included marketing, training, management and internal coaching, Maria was empowered to go out on her own to custom design leadership development programming that improves team productivity and facilitates goal attainment. To that end, Assenter Coaching, LLC was formed. Maria is credentialed by the International Coach Federation and remains very active in the local chapter. A public-speaking enthusiast, Maria continues to hone her craft in Toastmasters and is a Past President of her local chapter. In 2018, Maria launched an Executive Coach Certification (XCC) course so students can choose a more business-minded path for their coaching specialty. Outside of her professional interests, Maria is a yoga junkie and stays active with her husband, David, as well as their two, great kids, Anthony and Avery. Where to find Maria?

This love of technology propelled her to get a Masters in Computer Information Systems from Boston University. She went on to work at Postmates in Operations until realizing its lack of flexibility for her as a new mother. After doing freelance web development and IT project management, Brooke co-founded a co-working space for moms, The Pod Works. There, she saw that moms had created their own little economy, buying and selling each other's goods and services. To get moms paid more and on a bigger scale, Brooke took her tech skills as well as love for supporting mom-owned businesses and merged them into one idea, Allobee, an agile, all-encompassing, business team solution. Brooke has a Bachelors in History & Education from Appalachian State University and a Masters of Computer Information Systems from Boston University. She lives in Durham, NC with her two kids, Lily & Lukas, her husband and their two rescue dogs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/c55dfb24-3ee0-4c92-924b-bfbd7ec91089/IS0xi3jE.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Brooke Markevicius - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/649bf42b-67a4-4abc-aa21-700ddf685b4b/WVYAykDU.jpeg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Brooke Markevicius - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1646414051711-R9U7L7LHGRTMQJKIVVVK/Blog+Post+Feature+Image+-+Brooke+Markevicius.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Brooke Markevicius https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/valentines-gift-of-productivity-tips monthly 0.5 2022-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1646415962518-75TDUFFTQS0I0C6PP3NP/Dark+Teal+Template+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - My Gift to You this Valentine's Day https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/b962ee8c-adb9-42ae-9107-1bbcdbefb730/16+-+productivity+quick+tips.png Blog - My Gift to You this Valentine's Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1646416371285-2CLB11PWK2B6B8FCLI4D/Dark+Teal+Template+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - My Gift to You this Valentine's Day https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-wendy-gates-corbett monthly 0.5 2022-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1643910432808-EFN7TKD36XHNCPHWL13O/Dark+Purple+Template+-+Blog+Posts+%282%29.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Wendy Gates Corbett https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/3bf7faee-524a-4be3-b566-920df87cfa3b/Brand+Photo+-+023_WGC1120_edited2.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Wendy Gates Corbett Wendy Gates Corbett, CPTD, is an international speaker, award-winning consultant and passionate researcher committed to figuring out the secret ingredients of workplaces built on a foundation of belonging.

As a jewelry designer for today's modern woman, she creates beautiful statement necklaces and earrings for everyday wear. Her collections are available to purchase from The Painted Pearl’s website as well as retail locations across the southeastern region of the United States. As a wife, mother of two and small business owner, Courtney shares her life, handling of Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis and business growth via her blog, Facebook and Instagram. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/5d6758c3-ce43-4ac5-abc9-056ab53ef77e/IMG_4990.jpg Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Courtney Frye - Painted Pearl Offerings Courtney created The Earring Envelope as a subscription of statement earrings delivered right to your door back in the Fall of 2019.

They come in a standard 5x7 size or a mini business card size with an easel included for the smaller size, and they make the perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/cf3bc170-ac85-4cc9-a877-5016999e6657/Courtney+Frye+and+Emily+Parks Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Courtney Frye - Make it stand out Courtney Frye wearing her Barlow Hoops along with Emily Parks wearing her favorite pair of Painted Pearl beauties, the Pandora Earrings https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1635523052569-UXT00C706CJK2OQZLRY8/_Blog+Feature+Image+-+Courtney+Frye.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Courtney Frye https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/final-friday-fab-finds-october-2021 monthly 0.5 2021-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1635226334377-5J4XQWFH4GWZD0A6T1KY/blog+2.png Blog - Final Friday's Finds for October 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/3a736c2f-1924-4b20-9f93-df054603676e/Screen+Shot+2021-10-26+at+9.34.17+AM.png Blog - Final Friday's Finds for October 2021 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/75d9836c-b43b-4e68-a543-46a27a45726e/Screen+Shot+2021-10-26+at+9.43.41+AM.png Blog - Final Friday's Finds for October 2021 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/0e233355-75f7-4c93-9989-b164003ce03d/Screen+Shot+2021-10-26+at+9.45.42+AM.png Blog - Final Friday's Finds for October 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/c7c48485-044e-474e-bc2c-d9978a7ba0d2/Screen+Shot+2021-10-26+at+9.44.41+AM.png Blog - Final Friday's Finds for October 2021 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1635226610341-OB5Z0CZVSYHQHJJLYWS9/blog+2.png Blog - Final Friday's Finds for October 2021 https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/bolster-better-sense-of-time-amidst-adhd monthly 0.5 2022-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1635517627399-RJR18LWNMCOZTRMZ4L1N/Dark+Green+Template+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - Put Your ADHD To Work for Greater Productivity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1635517753000-A5EFRVQDLYEN1SCRX3VJ/Dark+Green+Template+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - Put Your ADHD To Work for Greater Productivity https://www.organizeforsuccess.com/blog/first-friday-founder-berrion-berry monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1632928869336-5T2790JOSY3UB6MCBA0I/Copy+of+Templates+-+Blog+Posts.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Berrion Berry https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f5979e329f9bd1b9e0ed62e/1632928938967-UP5XF5F4S8S7NG2Z9DWN/Headshot+Option+2.png Blog - First Friday Female Founder Feature: Berrion Berry Ashley Christensen began cooking while in college, throwing dinner parties for her friends and family. These intimate gatherings helped her recognize a passion for cooking, sharing food and fostering community through those meals. After working in some of the Triangle’s top kitchens, Ashley opened Poole’s Diner in 2007. In 2011, Ashley added Beasley’s Chicken + Honey as well as Fox Liquor Bar, both housed in a corner building once occupied by a Piggly Wiggly. In the spring of 2015, AC Restaurants introduced Death & Taxes, celebrating wood-fire cooking with Southern ingredients, and Bridge Club, a private events loft and cooking classroom. Then, in the fall of 2019, Poole’side Pies opened next door to Poole’s Diner, featuring Ashley’s take on Neapolitan-style pizza.
