Bringing Out Succeful Sisters: Influencers Event Re-Cap by Jamie Fleming

Image
You might be thinking “What does Bringing Out Successful Sisters mean?” [ Answer: That's The BOSS Network's acronymn ] or ‘What the heck does The BOSS Network have to do with Feel Good Fridays?’ or Well, let me tell you how. I attended the “Inspired By Influencers” event this past Wednesday. It was a very inspirational and motivational event, and it was great to be in the presence of so many fabulous, successful and friendly women. Each of the Influencers honored answered the question, “What makes you a BOSS?” Several of the answers pertained to being supportive of others (particularly women) and just helping another sister along the way. I was very impressed by the fact that these highly successful, renowned women felt it was important to reach back and pull another sister up with her. And really, that’s what The BOSS Network is: Brining Out Successful Sisters. That is Cameka’s (the founder) vision for the brand and business, and I think it’s being accomplished.
