ConnectHER, A Gathering For Women, was established in 2020 to provide women in our community an opportunity to gather for food, drinks, shopping and sisterhood. The event has grown in attendance every year since it’s inception with almost 200 women in at this year’s event. This year’s shopping featured local women owned shops and service providers including Mary’s/ M Squared Design Firm, Terry’s Flooring and Blinds, Peppy’s, Edna’s Marketplace, Terra Dolce, The General Store, Appearances Beauty Studio, and Regenerative Medicine Associates.
The speaker for the evening was Darla Harms, CEO of Small Town Girls Play Big. Her non-profit focuses on empowering women to love themselves, and love each other. She encouraged all of those in attendance to love themselves in the season they are in, and a copy of her book “No Fat Chicks: Overcoming Body Shame and Living in Authenticity” was provided to each attendee by the Chamber.
This event was Presented by Mary’s/ M Squared Design Firm with Gold Sponsors Accordia Urgent Care and Family Practice, Dermatology Associates, and The Georgia Power Company.
