The idea behind the name Braid is that one strand by itself can easily bend or break, but when you weave those threads together, they add strength to each other. We hope to see women connecting and adding strength to each other as a result of our workshop series. The 3 aims of Braid are: 1. Connect the women in our community so that we learn who we are. 2. Empower women to start, build, and grow entrepreneurial ventures. 3. Create an encouraging and safe space for women to ask questions, learn, explore, and connect. Even though our big vision is to shift the economic trajectory of women, everyone is welcome to attend!
