2nd Berkeley Women in Biz Meetup, Barberella Beauty Lounge

On Monday, February 17th, President's Day, we held a second Berkeley Women* in Biz Meetup with the co-founders of Bloom, Eileen Hanshaw and Ann Wees, at Barberella Beauty Lounge.

The meetup originally began about 8 months ago, potluck-style in our backyard, and friends came out from around and outside the Bay Area, including Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento, and the Peninsula. Based on an idea Jing contributed at the first meetup, we went around in a circle and shared the skills, expertise, and resources that we offer and those that we desire, either to grow our businesses or to develop our personal interests and professional growth. 

Berkeley Women in Biz Meetup

Last Tuesday, June 4th, I hosted a meetup with local Bay Area women in business across diverse industries at our house in Berkeley. 

While living in community with housemates, mostly women, who are also business owners and consultants, in private practice, or dreaming of growing their next dream project, I was inspired to get everyone together with other women and friends in our community for a diy potluck-style mixer. As we were an intimate size, we had a chance to spotlight each person and share her/his/their skills and expertise to facilitate connections.
