Why are you proud to be a women-led company?
Being a woman-owned, run, and creatively-led company means embracing diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and inclusive leadership. I’m proud to champion equality, creativity, and empowerment in every aspect of our business.
What benefits have you experienced being a women led business?
Being a woman-owned/run/creatively-led company brings a unique set of benefits. The sisterhood in women entrepreneurs is unmatched. Especially in the sub community of single mothers like myself. Our camaraderie fosters inclusivity, and empowers us women in business.
In what ways other than gender equity do you think your company is making the world a better place?
My company makes the world a better place by promoting sustainable and ethical sourcing of ingredients, supporting local communities, and creating employment opportunities. Additionally, we prioritize environmentally friendly packaging and practices, and contribute to charitable causes. Ultimately, by prioritizing quality, sustainability, and social responsibility, we positively impact both the environment and the communities we engage with.
