“As a female Veteran and small business owner, I believe that it is imperative to provide programming and events that not only educate and empower women business owners but also prepares them to be successful, which places them in a position to maintain and scale their businesses. Much of this comes in the form of ensuring a balanced form of wellness in all areas and unfortunately, as women, we tend to bypass this or ignore it all together. Our VBOC wants to make sure that the clients we assist are 100% prepared to win in their businesses!” - VBOC @ WWBIC Co-Director, Dr. Makeba Butler.
