“I thought what if once a day I featured a woman business owner or entrepreneur and so I started March 1st, I featured folks that are local, folks that are national, and just as a way to highlight different women business owners and entrepreneurs,” said Young. “Some folks have had Chapel Hill High School connections, UNC connections, some are local, but I just want an opportunity to highlight the woman, encourage people to purchase their goods or services and then inspire others because even folks who have seen my posts have responded with their advice for women business owners.”
You may remember Kristen from her weekly conversation with Aaron Keck to give the Short & Sweet Business Beat. She’s back but for a limited time only. Inspired by so many women entrepreneurs and business owners she’s met and known, she decided to feature one woman a day in March on social media (follow her on Instagram and Twitter) in honor of Women’s History Month. Follow along and let us know your favorite women entrepreneurs. A digest of Kristen’s posts will appear right here in the Town Square section of Chapelboro each Friday in March.
Aaron Keck talked to Kristen on-air about her social media series on March 8, 2018, also International Women’s Day. Click below to hear their conversation:
