Have you ever wanted to be surrounded by other female entrepreneurs and creatives, where opportunity and collaboration are encouraged?
Enter The Southern C.
“The Southern C is the virtual version of a traditional front porch – a laid-back gathering place to share, inspire, encourage and nurture creative minds.

Designed to offer a community of passionate business owners, makers and doers the opportunity to connect, collaborate and create, The Southern C is an online resource, multi-day in-person and virtual summit, and membership community co-founded by Cheri Leavy and Whitney Long." - taken from The Southern C Website.

This Summit is a 3-day in-person conference and this year it celebrated its 10 Year Anniversary!   

This was our first year attending and to say we had fun and met lots of wonderful and inspiring women, is an understatement.

Here are some views from the beautiful Cloister, which is where the Summit was held.

 

One of our favorite aspects about the Summit was the lineup of Presenters and Mentors. You can view the whole lineup HERE.

We had the opportunity to meet some of the ladies we have been following on Instagram, in person, and it was so special to get to hug them! On top of "meeting" old friends, we made some new friends whom we hope to collaborate with in the future!

Here are some photos from some of our favorite memories!

I think one of my favorite memories of The Southern C was seeing so many women wearing their CANVAS Style pieces! Davin and I started this business to help women feel confident in their style by creating affordable and chic pieces. To see these fabulous ladies style their pieces is the best compliment a designer can receive.
