What an incredible evening celebrating the powerhouse women of our business community! In partnership with WeBC, we gathered at Red Beard Cafe for a night in honour of International Women’s Day 2025.
Our brilliant panelists—Christina Grono, Founder of @theartwearecafe, Fitness Trainer; Clara Shipp @clarashipp_, Business + Money Mindset Coach; Stacey Owen @heystaceyowen; and Deena Aspinal, Owner of @ourfootprintseco—shared their entrepreneurial journeys, offering insights, wisdom, and plenty of laughs along the way. With our dynamic host, Charlene Muchipisi, leading the discussion, the energy in the room was nothing short of magic.
Attendees left feeling empowered, inspired, and connected:
“We all have challenges in business, and we are stronger together.”
“You don’t have to be the expert, but you can be a contributor.”
“It eased a lot of imposter syndrome I had.”
“…The biggest takeaway? How beautiful and supportive our female entrepreneur community is in Kamloops.”
“Warm reassurances that our shared experiences are valid! Some great conversations & connections.”
“There are many different ways to have a successful personal business.”
From the delicious grazing table to the gift bags filled with items from local women-owned businesses, every detail of the evening was about celebrating and supporting one another. A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and joined us—you are the heart of this community.
