Aspiring and established entrepreneurs can celebrate Women's History Month with SCORE CDC by attending free small business workshops taught by women.

MEMPHIS, TN, UNITED STATES, March 7, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SCORE CDC is celebrating Women’s History Month by hosting five small business workshops featuring successful female entrepreneurs in the Mid-South. The workshops embrace important topics such as tax preparation, the use of social media marketing, and do-it-yourself media relations. There is even a youth entrepreneur workshop for ages 8 – 17. The workshops are FREE. Those interested can learn more and register at https://bit.ly/scorecdcevents.

SCORE stands for South City Opportunity Revitalization and Empowerment. The non-profit’s mission is to promote community ownership, pride, dignity, and economic equity in 38126 and 38106 zip codes through community and resident empowerment programming. South City begins in the heart of South Memphis and extends to parts of Downtown Memphis. Rebecca Matlock Hutchinson is the founder and executive director of SCORE CDC. She grew up in South City and created the organization after noticing the decline of small business and resources in the community.

“South City was once a thriving community with many small businesses that were greatly invested in the area and the people who live here. We still have some wonderful businesses, but there is room for more. Small businesses often serve as anchors for the community and provide jobs, mentoring, leadership, and vital funds. By empowering small businesses with information and resources that allow them to be successful, we hope they will invest in the communities and the individuals they serve,” said Rebecca. “We are excited about these workshops and have enlisted the help of some phenomenal women who are experts in their fields to lead them. Aspiring and established entrepreneurs are encouraged to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity,” she added.

The workshop presenters include finance expert and CEO of GIP Financials Sonja Jones and social media guru Jennifer Purnell whose business, September Nail Salon, was selected by Facebook to be featured in a national ad. Public relations professional Jae Henderson is president of Put It In Writing PR and has worked with well-known Mid-South entities such as the Southern Heritage Classic, Ewing Moving & Storage, and Champion’s Pharmacy & Herb Store. Jae will give insider tips on how to get media coverage. Choya Johnson is a business consultant and the president of Visions of Empowerment. Choya will discuss how businesses can produce and sustain revenue. Social media beauty influencer Kristen Williams will head the youth entrepreneur workshop. Kristen also founded the Jade Sol beauty company and her hair products have sold in over 40 countries. She will share how to create social media content that sells products.
