CHARLOTTE, N.C. โ On Sunday, women entrepreneurs will gather at STIR on South Tryon Street for the second annual EmpowerHER Business Brunch, a unique event blending strategy, sisterhood, and style.
Hosted by Ms. Black Charlotte USA and organized by Lacrisha Thomas, founder of the EmpowerHER Firm, the brunch runs from 1 to 3 p.m. and invites attendees to dress “Elegant in Emerald.”
The event, themed โFrom Hustle to Funded,โ is designed to help women position their businesses for city and state certifications, secure funding, and build meaningful connections. Itโs a hands-on experience that goes beyond networking, offering practical tools and inspiration for women looking to scale their ventures with confidence.
Featured speakers include:
- Shamika OโNeal, Assistant Vice President at Fifth Third Bank
- Dr. Shaniqua Nicole, Tax & Wealth Strategist
- Satara Brown, Founder of SB Consultant Firm and HR Consultant
- Susan King, Certified Life Coach
“We have more power than we feel that we have, and our power as women – strong women – it comes out when we are amongst those in the room who are stronger,” said Thomas, who has mentored women in business since 2009. “When you have a group in a circle… that love and support you for who you are and what you do, it makes you thrive even better in life.”
The event is tailored for women ready to refine their business systems, pursue collaborations and contracts, and build with clarity and purpose. Meals and drinks are available for purchase through STIR, and attendees are encouraged to arrive by 12:50 p.m. to ensure a prompt start.
