Girls Crushing It, the nonprofit organization that empowers girls to flex their leadership muscles and increase the pipeline of female business leaders through entrepreneurship, is back to bring some holiday cheer to 2020 with a virtual Winter Pop-up Shop.
Through its series of business workshops and pop-up shops, Girls Crushing Its entrepreneurship programming is designed to increase confidence, leadership skills, and financial acumen in girls. The girls learn the fundamentals of running a business, culminating into a functioning market where they sell their products to shoppers. Due to the Covid-19 virus and the associated continued uncertainty the pandemic presents, the 2020 Girls Crushing It Winter Pop-up Shop will be virtual.
“At Girls Crushing It we want to inspire girls to believe they can be anything they want to be, cultivate their entrepreneurial spirits and develop the confidence to tackle just about any challenge,” said Roxanne Christophe, Founder and CEO of Girls Crushing It. “2020 has been a difficult year for so many but these strong young women have shown that not even a pandemic is going to stop them from crushing it at this year’s virtual Winter Pop-up Shop.”
Since its inception in 2018, Girls Crushing It has supported young girls in their entrepreneurial journeys, sparking an awareness that their creativity and ingenuity can be channeled into a business that empowers them emotionally and financially.
The virtual Girls Crushing It Winter Pop-up Shop is the perfect place to shop for unique handmade gifts such as bath products, stationery, organic dog treats and handmade works of art.
