Testimonials
My experience with SheCEO and SAGSAW was amazing and inspiring. I never thought that I would find people who are encouraging and supportive as the people in SheCEO. I also learned a lot about being an entrepreneur.
The girls in SheCEO were very helpful when it came to coming up with slogans and tag lines for our businesses. I also think that it was fun but at the same time informative. Allyson was amazing as well and she always reached out whenever we did not show up to class or when she did not hear from us for a while.
She also allowed us to meet other businesswomen that would be helpful to us and they told us some things that were important in business. I was able to connect with those people on LinkedIn. Overall, the program was great I enjoyed every part. My favorite part of being in SAGSAW and SheCEO was the summit.
That was so much fun and full of women who were full of character, kindness, and encouragement. I thank SAGSAW and SheCEO so much for allowing me to be apart of this. I would also like to continue to be apart of SAGSAW and SheCEO from now on. It was so good I even told my niece about it. Thank you so much.
