MURFREESBORO — Fun,
food and fashion await young women eager for the latest strategies to propel
them to success.
“The Couture Experience Women in Business Showcase” is
scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon. Saturday, April 30, in MTSU’s Sam Ingram
Building, 2269 Middle Tennessee Blvd. Parking is available in the Ingram lot,
but attendees are advised to expect traffic delays due to road construction.
Free and open to the public, the event is part of MTSU’s
celebration of National Women’s History Month.
“It’s kind of like a seminar/fashion show/showcase of
business owners where (participants) are able to, toward the end of the event,
walk around and see what the different vendors have to offer,” said Sholanda
Brown, one of the coordinators of the program and a benefits analyst in the
MTSU Office of Human Resources.
Brown, who also is the owner of The Couture Experience by
Shalon, joined forces with Latoya Bennett, owner of the Ellie Colour wardrobe
stylist firm, and Meichelle Gibson, co-owner of Gibson Consulting and
Entertainment Group, to provide a networking and information exposition for
prospective businesswomen and those in the first five years of the business
world.
Bennett will explain how to make appropriate fashion
transitions for all occasions without abandoning one’s own sense of style.
Gibson will talk about how to take one’s business to the next level and turn
obstacles into opportunities.
Brown said all vendors will be local providers of products
and services who operate in the city of Murfreesboro.
“We’re going to have them come up to the stage and talk
about their businesses and how the businesses can impact the community,” said
Brown.
In addition to Brown, Bennett and Gibson’s firms, the “Women
in Business Showcase” is co-sponsored by the June Anderson Center for Women and
Nontraditional Students and the MTSU National Women’s History Month Committee.
