To join the challenge Join us here and read below for what winning looks like!

In our Holiday Post on December 25th - Supporting Women - Thinking Differently you learned about how I started to thinking differently about supporting women.

What did I do?

STEP 1, ASKED Myself "am I buying from women?"

STEP 2, Asked places I shopped if they were woman owned. (surprisingly almost none)

STEP 3, Made sure to know when I was and wasn't buying from a woman owned business and focused on trying to buy from women too, after all, it's my dollars I'm spending.

STEP 4, Made a list of women owned businesses - www.femmebought.com

Holy moly, what an impact femmebought had, especially during the holidays.

Our Femme Entrepreneurs experienced the power of the purse! (and wallet, we're not a one size fits when it comes to accessorizing ;-) How did it happen -

• Using my new knowledge, I began making more informed purchases.

• I started telling people about it

• The best was when I started hearing from YOU

• You told me you were making more informed decisions

• You said you were using femmebought information

• You sent us femme businesses

• You got involved

• You became our community connecting consumers to femme Businesses

A BIT OF INSPIRATION:

I am constantly inspired by women who win. Today I got my inspiration from a from woman CEO and cofounder of Rent the Runway - Jennifer Hyman that was in Fast Company last month - Women Leaders Share Moments of 2017 that Redefined their Roles - "Rent the Runway is committed to offering excellent healthcare for our employees, 70% of whom are women."

The beauty of Jennifer Hyman's quote is that it shows that at Rent the Runway everyone wins, including women but not just women. As it happens at Rent the Runway, 70% of employees are women.
