Yesterday, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the opening day of SHE Week in Frederick, and this year's theme, "Cultivate," truly resonated with us. 🌱✨

The event was a fantastic reminder of the power we have to nurture our dreams, grow our skills, and cultivate a community of support and innovation. We left feeling energized and ready to implement new ideas at our Incubators! Next on the agenda today- SHE Pitch.
