My Woman-Owned Small Business: A Backstory

My Woman-Owned Small Business: A Backstory

I wasn't working a regular 9-5 job when I founded my California-based candle company. In fact, I'd recently left my job as a high school English teacher.

I took a few interior design classes at the local junior college, I spent a few months working as a marketing writer for a local start-up, I freelanced for a home design website, I tutored...

....and I founded Scented Designs Candle Co.

Supporting Small Business for Women's Month

Supporting Small Business for Women's Month

The U.S. Census reports that nearly 10 million people in the United States are employed by women-owned businesses. That’s a staggering number of households depending on those companies to thrive.

With women currently owning about 40% of businesses across the U.S., there’s no doubt the impact women have is felt across the nation.

It’s no secret that supporting small businesses is good for your community and the economy, but it’s important to know who’s in charge of the business you’re supporting. You want to be sure your hard-earned support is going to the people you believe in most.
