We're gathering together to show our support & celebrate women who have started a business in the Jackson area over the past year.

Bring gifts, advice, and/or encouragement to ensure these new business owners start in the most successful way. (It's like a baby shower, but for new business owners!)

Do you have the perfect gift or advice for a new business owner?

Maybe it's a:

Complimentary service for copywriting, headshots, or logo design
Book that helped you learn a key business skill
Gift card to purchase her best boss outfit
Journal with an inspirational note from you

...whatever you wish you'd had as a new business owner, that's what we'd love for you to bring (for one, or for all of the showerees)!

Our community nominated women business owners to be showered at this event, but ALL attendees will receive support & resources to help a business grow.

The women business owners we'll be showering are:

Lindsay Priest, author of "Does Blake Keep the Secret"
Sade` Gant, owner of N & N Mascots
Shanice Galloway, owner of Meech & Muff Heavenly Foods
Sara Farnsworth, owner of Peabody Lane

During this event, Michigan Tribe will be granting up to $25,000 in micro-grants to female entrepreneurs and women business owners who operate in Jackson County, Michigan. Grant applications are currently closed, and receipients will be notified prior to arriving to the Community Business Shower.

Mark your calendar for 10/13 and plan to drop the gift off, meet our highlighted new bosses, and spend some time with our awesome community!

FAQs

Do I have to be a female entrepreneur to attend?

No! All are welcome, but we are using this as an opportunity to support new women business owners AND connect with our MiTribe community, so it's best suited for those who own (or are interested in owning) a business.

Do I need a ticket, or can I just show up?

You MUST have a ticket to attend this event. Although tickets are FREE, we're asking attendees to register so we can limit the number of people.

Do I need to bring a gift for all of the showerees?

Yes, that would be great! But, if it's a little too pricey, just bring what you can. Once you meet our highlighted new bosses, you can choose which are best suited for the gift/s you brought.

Can I just drop a gift off, or do I need to attend the whole time?

You are welcome to drop by quickly to leave the gift/s, or stay and hang! If you need to arrange a drop off prior to the event, please email mitribegathers@gmail.com.
