When I launched the events arm of SIU, my aim was crystal clear: to establish a welcoming environment where women from diverse business backgrounds could truly be themselves and forge genuine connections.

Each event was meticulously planned with a specific purpose in mind. I wanted attendees to
understand why they were coming, and this intentional approach ensured that everyone arrived with the right mindset, attracting like-minded individuals.

With over 12 events under our belt and more than $20,000 raised for amazing charities, it’s evident that our community thrives on positivity, connection, and a shared desire to learn, grow and support one another.

I’m strong in my stance: if you don’t bring a positive attitude and a genuine willingness to  connect and learn, then our space isn’t the right fit for you. By setting this standard, we’ve created a safe place where ideas flow freely, business strategies are discussed openly, and personal development is nurtured within a supportive and inclusive environment.

And the above still remains. So if the above sounds like your jam, then we welcome you with open arms!

“It’s important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story.” – Iyanla Vanzant
