hear us roar
We're back! Your Women Owned team took a short break over the holidays to rest up and re-energize, but we are so ready for what is sure to be a roaring 2020.

Before we dig into this week's features, we want to take a moment to hear from YOU.

In 2020, what can we do to make this weekly addition to your inbox more helpful, valuable and interesting?

Take our short and sweet survey to let us know what you think. 

We are endlessly grateful. But if you need a bit more than our gratitude, how about a free Buy Women Owned tote bag? We will pick one lucky winner from our survey responses to win.

Now on to business! This week, we have several exciting Women Owned businesses to share, including products to help you get organized, a rosehip beverage social venture, and a sustainability-focused detox juice company. 

But first, ICYMI: check out our latest Women Owned video, featuring scenes and interviews from the 2019 WBENC National Conference & Business Fair. 
P.S. Today is the last day to apply to be a vendor at the Women Owned Pop-Up Shop at Summit & Salute in March! Learn more and apply here.

Get Organized with Women Owned

Maybe you're a natural Marie Kondo. Or maybe you leave a trail of clutter in your wake everywhere you go. (No judgment here!) Either way, the turn of a new year is always a good time to take the opportunity to straighten up. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there are many savvy women entrepreneurs who have developed products to help get you organized, from your office to your kitchen, and many places in between.

Nina Tickaradze
NADI


"I am originally from the country of Georgia, where rosehip juices and beverages have been a health tradition for centuries. I left my home country when I was young and since then I have lived in Atlanta, Georgia. I founded an organization called the Georgia to Georgia Foundation to help build relationships between our two Georgias. In 2008, my home country of Georgia was attacked by Russian forces and many Georgian farmers were left homeless, without jobs or income. My foundation tried to help them by sending supplies, but we quickly realized that what they needed were jobs. So, we started NADI as a social venture, with a mission of creating jobs for these individuals."
