You always hear from us. You see the small businesses. You hear about the results. But what about the community members who show up and experience the Business Showers for themselves? 💗💚

Hear from Tamika Porter of Porter Financial, one of our VIP Panelists and a Business Showers guest, as she shares why spaces like this matter.

Her message was simple: We need events like this.

Charlotte is one of the fastest-growing cities for small businesses, and as entrepreneurship continues to grow, so must the ecosystem surrounding those entrepreneurs.

They need spaces to connect.
They need access to resources.
They need capital and education.
They need people willing to open doors, share knowledge, and show up.

That's what we're building through Business Showers, and the community is an important part of it.

So, how can YOU show up next? 👟

Join us November 7, 2026, for the Run to Empower Entrepreneurs 5K at Frank Liske Park in Concord, NC.

You can run. You can walk. You can bring your family, your coworkers, your organization, or your entire team.

You don't have to own a business to be part of building a stronger small business community.

THIS is what joy, impact, and community look like! 💗💚🙌🏾

We had the honor of recognizing Dr. Tawana Ross as our **2026 Humanitarian Trailblazer Award recipient** at the Business Showers, and her excitement says it all!

The Trailblazer Award is about more than recognition. It honors people who are using their influence, leadership, and service to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Because at Business Showers, we believe in celebrating the people who build businesses AND build communities.

And the celebration isn't over! 👟🏃🏾‍♀️🚶🏾‍♂️

On November 7, 2026, we're bringing that same energy back together for our **Run to Empower Entrepreneurs 5K at Frank Liske Park in Concord.

Come RUN. Come WALK. Come CHEER. Bring your family, friends, coworkers, organization, or entire team!

You don't have to be an entrepreneur to help empower one. 💚

Every registration helps us continue pouring training, resources, connections, opportunities, and support into entrepreneurs working to build businesses that last.
