SHE HUSTLES returns for a live, in-person event from The Creative Coast! The SHE HUSTLES community offers Savannah's women entrepreneurs and leaders a chance to network, learn, and inspire. Several times per year, the Creative Coast hosts gatherings that bring the community together for a motivational evening highlighting women moving and shaking in the Coastal Georgia region. This fall’s event will take place on Monday, November 8, 2021 at Front Porch Improv (210 W Victory Drive in Savannah) starting at 6:00pm.

SHE HUSTLES emcee and Creative Coast Executive Director Jennifer Bonnett will interview Brynn Grant, who is the President and CEO of United Way of the Coastal Empire, in a special “fireside” chat. Brynn will share her professional journey and what she’s learned as a community and business leader. The popular panel discussion featuring influential entrepreneurs returns this fall. Victoria Baylor, Mindset and Clarity Coach and TEDx Speaker, will be the panel moderator facilitating a discussion between women entrepreneurs from diverse industries. Panelists include Courtney Rawlins (President of Buy Local Savannah), Whitney Gilliard (Cofounder and CEO of Gilliard and Company), and Katie Rodgers-Hubbard (Founder of Lite Foot Company).

The upcoming SHE HUSTLES is sponsored by Platinum Level sponsor scDataCom, a veteran-owned, woman-owned, and family-owned business. The local company is a nationally recognized expert specializing in the design, installation, and service of electronic security systems- from video surveillance to access control to network cabling. Alaina Meyer, founder and co-owner of scDataCom, will share inspiring words as the first speaker. Alaina shares ownership and leadership responsibility with her mother, Kathleen, and together the mother-daughter duo has achieved over $4MM annual revenue, has a staff of 25, is nationally recognized as an industry leader, and was recently recognized as the #1 small-medium sized Security Integrator in the United States.
