W O M E N ABOUT B U S I N E S S April/May 2025 | maconmagazine.com 75 What is the mission of your work? Wesleyan's mission is accelerating equality for women in Middle Georgia and around the globe. We're doing this in our Entrepreneurial Lab (eLab) space which is designed to help students create a business, market an existing one, and see their innovative ideas come to life. What services or products do you off er? Our eLab provides students and community members with essential tools and support to become successful small business owners, empowering them to turn innovative ideas into thriving ventures. From 3D printers and vacuum molds that will allow entrepreneurs to prototype innovative solutions, to printers and engravers allowing them to create marketing products, in this space a young woman will fi nd everything she needs to bring her ideas to life. What is the best advice you have ever received, business or otherwise? Success is not solely defi ned by fi nancial wealth; it encompasses a sense of fulfi lment in both your professional endeavours and personal life. In fi ve years, I hope to see more women stepping confi dently into leadership roles, advocating for their worth, and building businesses that drive our community forward. Who is a woman who has inspired or mentored you? My mother has consistently been my greatest source of inspiration. A er my father's passing, she raised fi ve children and demonstrated remarkable strength and resilience. I hope more women will step into leadership roles, advocate for themselves unapologetically and support one another in business. Whether it is starting a company, pursuing executive positions, or breaking into male - dominated industries, women deserve a seat at every table.
