Broken Cookies and a Cup of Cappuccino

It is not every day that one has the opportunity to meet empowered women entrepreneurs. This month I had the pleasure and honor of meeting both Amilya Antonetti and Jeretta Nord.
Amilya Antonetti is a pioneer in the green cleaning product category, a trail blazer for female entrepreneurship & networking and has established many programs to uplift and excel women including the "Broken Cookie" workshop for empowering women; which I attended (as pictured with Amilya above). Amilya has an immense online social media presence, is an Oprah favorite, and is actively working on many upcoming television projects.
Jeretta Nord is an author and has also dedicated her entrepreneurial path to uplifting the otherwise unheard entrep in her book series A Cup of Cappuccino for the Entrepreneur's Spirit. Jeretta has a successful weekly radio show where she profiles and interviews entrepreneurial stories from her books, as well as other well known go getters including Amilya Antonetti!
As a woman entrepreneur, I am learning to think not only for myself, but to lend a reaching hand to others. We are all in different places on our journey of invention, innovation and business and the helping hands we recieve are invaluable to our success and longevity.
A special thank you to some other women entreps and their amazing innovations and businesses: Julianne Paulson (@YRJewelryGal) - Get Rocked Jewelry, Kathy Partak (@KDPartak) - ZipperBack Gloves, Kendra Kroll (@PortaPocketGal) - Porta Pocket, Kim Shulman (@NoSlipCharlie) - No Slip Charlie bathing gloves, Andi Barness (@Andibarness) - Actress.
