15 Most Inspirational Quotes from S.H.E Summit 2015
We’re feeling inspired and awestruck by the women entrepreneurs that we saw and heard when we attended the S.H.E Summit in New York this week. It’s amazing what these women have accomplished in their personal and professional lives and it’s truly an inspiration to women world over.
S.H.E Summit’s mission is to be the world’s most accessible women’s empowerment conference – exposing today’s leading role models, empowerment stories and strategies, women’s campaigns and supportive community to a global female audience who have the power to ripple affect change in their own lives and for the betterment of other women and the world.
It is truly a event for the like-minded to get together. We met our customers, mentor and even celebrity fan here at the event!

We salute and applaud these women for their accomplishments and successes. We truly believe that empowered women will change the world for the better. And to really empower women, women need to help each other.
We are truly thankful to those who have helped us. We want to especially thank our mentor Fran Hauser who was a featured speaker at the event. Jia couldn't be any happier seeing Fran at the event and learning from her again.
