Back in 2021, we met working at Forefront Wealth Partners. We worked separately on different teams, and didn't really get a chance to connect that often. We finally met in person in February 2022 and bonded over one of our first shared loves—margaritas. Friendship sealed over good tequila, we realized how much else we had in common; we both have an affinity for books, wine, lifelong learning, and fashion. Above all, we realized our common passion for empowering women, sharing stories, and creating a community where other women can learn from one another. Many margaritas later, Empowered Women was born.
