SHE CAN WORK FOUNDATION

Introducing the 2026 cohort for the Grow Small Business Residency! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 It’s only month 5 and the wins are already rolling in. Inside this cohort, our business sisters have already… ✨ hired team members✨ launched new services✨ secured partnerships✨ created SOPs and systems✨ increased revenue and ✨ strengthened their leadership as CEOs This is what happens when growth is approached intentionally. Too many business owners are pushed to “scale” before the business is structurally ready. Grow SBR was designed differently. It is a 12-month residency focused on helping women entrepreneurs build businesses that can actually sustain growth. We’re so excited to watch these businesses and their CEOs GROW! Sending love to… 🌱 @jenetdovecounseling 🌱 @_plantandstone_ 🌱 @peppazhtx 🌱 @love4real_drybar 🌱 @llulo 🌱 @the_boarding_pass

There are easier ways to build what we’ve built. We didn’t choose them. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Since 2022, we’ve been building something deeper than programs… bigger than community… An ecosystem for women building real businesses. The kind that last. The kind that scale. The kind that actually work. And if you’ve been close to us, you know it hasn’t been easy. But today… we take a major step forward ✨ Introducing She Can Work Media—our storytelling + amplification engine. Where what we see turns into insight. Where what we learn turns into direction. Where our ecosystem becomes visible and accessible to more women building. And with that… We’re welcoming @taylormhayden as Managing Partner of She Can Work Media! 🩷 She’s been part of this from the beginning—behind the lens as brand photographer, shaping the brand—and now stepping into leadership to help us grow this vision with intention. This isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing it right. Aligned. Integrated. Built to last. If you’ve been part of She Can Work in any way… this is your moment too. We’re just getting started. Let’s WORK! ✨

Congratulations to The Lab, Cohort 2026!!! These incredible women have spent the last 6 weeks testing, iterating, and bringing clarity to their new business ideas. We’re celebrating strong business models, a singular focus on product and service delivery, and proven market demand! ​ Women entrepreneurs deserve to lead businesses that are not burdens, but economic engines and generational wealth builders. These ladies are well on their way! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Thank you to the women business owners and resource providers who supported this cohort! @allthingsryanw @moniekjames @sabrinavfranklin @ssd.consulting @uptowndiscoverygroup @meetmavology @arugulaandrye @dr_swalker @livtocreatedesigns @love4real_drybar @twucwe @truist

Proud moments often come from witnessing the journey. Seeing entrepreneurs move through our ecosystem, from The Lab, to The Core Program, to Fund Her Forward, and into the Grow Small Business Residency affirms the purpose behind our work. Supporting women as they shape ideas, strengthen strategy, access capital, and develop executive leadership is how sustainable businesses are built. Another meaningful full-circle moment is our partnership with Dr. Shontoria. Beginning her journey within our Core Program cohort and now contributing to the Grow Residency reflects the strength of a sisterhood rooted in shared progress and mutual support. At She Can Work, we are committed to building a community where collaboration, encouragement, and collective success remain at the center. We grow together. We support one another. And we celebrate every step forward. #SheCanWork #WomenEntrepreneurs #SisterhoodInBusiness #LeadershipJourney #EntrepreneurSupport

There is beauty in partnerships grounded in shared purpose. As educators, we approach this work through a lens that looks beyond business metrics alone. While data helps us understand outcomes and impact, it also guides us in asking deeper questions, how can we show up differently, support more intentionally, and create environments where each woman can grow toward the vision she holds for herself and her business. This collaboration allows us to look beyond numbers and focus on people. Each participant matters. Each journey matters. Each outcome matters. At She Can Work, we believe in doing things differently, centering sisterhood, intentional guidance, and meaningful growth. We believe in our sisters, and we remain committed to walking alongside them as they build what is possible. #SheCanWork #SisterhoodInBusiness #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityImpact #LeadershipGrowth

Our February happy hour @cocodyrestaurant brought together business women, community leaders, resource and service providers. In 2026 we are intently focused on strengthening our sisterhood, by creating an ecosystem of opportunity, access and advancement. It’s time to elevate and redefine the business of WORK! 🎥 @dvirtual_media

Data tells a story and the story continues to affirm the work being done within our Grow Small Business Residency. The impact we’ve measured shows that this model can be replicated cohort after cohort. Participants are not only strengthening business performance and increasing revenue, they are developing the confidence and discipline to make strategic decisions grounded in insight rather than emotion. This shift shapes stronger leadership, clearer direction, and long-term sustainability. The transformation is visible in both mindset and measurable outcomes. Entrepreneurs evolve into CEOs prepared to navigate change and lead organizations with intention. For investors and partners seeking proven impact, the data demonstrates that this work is effective and scalable. We invite you to connect with us and become part of a growing sisterhood building resilient leaders and sustainable businesses. #SheCanWork #DataDrivenLeadership #WomenEntrepreneurs #CommunityGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment

Transformation isn’t just about business growth, it’s about leadership evolution. Within our programs, women are developing the confidence to lead as CEOs, making strategic decisions that shape the future of their companies and strengthen their impact. That confidence extends beyond operations and revenue. It changes how they show up, how they lead, and how they move forward with clarity and purpose. Watching this transformation unfold is at the heart of our work and our community. If you’re a business owner searching for a program and a sisterhood that can shift how you operate and grow, we invite you to explore our foundation. Visit our website, learn about our programs, and discover where you belong within our ecosystem. We would be honored to welcome you into the She Can Work sisterhood. #SheCanWork #WomenInLeadership #CEOConfidence #BusinessTransformation #WomenEntrepreneurs

Partnerships rooted in purpose allow our work to go deeper and further. Through collaboration with Dr. Shontoria, we are strengthening how we capture and measure the impact of our Grow Small Business Residency. This partnership helps us document the transformation happening within our community from leadership development and operational growth to the measurable progress entrepreneurs are making within their own businesses. Our goal is to support participants as they expand their mindset beyond business ownership and step confidently into executive leadership, making strategic decisions that shape sustainable companies and long-term impact. For investors seeking meaningful impact, this work is backed by data demonstrating real outcomes and growth. We invite you to connect with us and explore how you can be part of advancing opportunity through the She Can Work sisterhood. #SheCanWork #WomenEntrepreneurs #LeadershipDevelopment #BusinessEcosystem #DataDrivenImpact

A full-circle moment we love... @dr_swalker joined She Can Work as part of our founding Core Program cohort… and now, she’s our partner leading the data and impact work for the Grow Small Business Residency. She tracks more than numbers...she intentionally draws out and highlights the transformation. The stories. The shifts. The growth our business sisters work so hard for. This is what happens when women build together. They rise, they return, and they shape the ecosystem for the next woman coming behind them. Sisterly hugs to Shontoria — a leader, a partner, and a force for women in business!

Sistersgiving reminded us why community matters. We gathered to celebrate the women who built, funded, and grew their businesses this year—sharing stories, laughter, and gratitude. The room was filled with leaders who prove every day that sisterhood is a strategy. And together, we are building companies that last. Thank you to our incredible host @cocodyrestaurant . The impeccable guest service, the warmth of the entire team from owners to staff, the delicious food, the ambiance…EVERYTHING was top tier!!
