2025 WBC Small Business Week: Nacho Average Success Story, Women Who Rise Above
Join us for a real-talk panel with women entrepreneurs who’ve faced the heat and come out stronger. From scrappy beginnings and funding hurdles to late nights and leap-of-faith decisions, these business owners have seen it all – and kept going. You’ll hear honest stories of resilience, risk, and rising above the odds, plus walk away with practical advice, encouragement, and maybe a few laughs (and chips).
Whether you're just getting started or scaling your hustle, this conversation will fuel your next bold move. Come for the inspiration, stay for the queso.
