Women of Color Conference 2009

Last Friday Brown Sugar- minus one, attended the Women of Color conference in the "Circle City" (Indianapolis).

The conference was lead by a group of dynamic women, all with one common goal. To recognize, promote and strengthen the advantages and abilities of women of color in the business arena. This was a great opportunity for Brown Sugar to learn new skills in networking, how to land city and federal contracts, and how to best brand ourselves as well as our business. Also the conference afforded us the opportunity to interface with other business owners and seekers, to speak with peers about their various endeavors. We were able to establish new relationships with those, who we may be working side by side within Brown Sugar's future!!

We were able to promote ourselves and our business, we passed out many business cards, and got great feed back!! Brown Sugar garnered many compliments on our beautiful and enticing business cards!!! We were told by other professionals that, just by seeing the concept of our logo, it made them want to find out more of what we were about. That is surely great news to us!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at the conference, and will be utilizing all of what we learned and those that we have met, to the advancement and productivity of Brown Sugar...

And if you know the ladies of Brown Sugar, you know that we couldn't end our weekend without a little food, fun, a movie (Madea Goes to Jail... HILARIOUS!!!), and some "chocolate cake"!!! ;)

What's New??

Each week, each day even... the goings on of Brown Sugar get more and more exciting!!

First up last week was the delievery of our business cards!! They are super cute, and Kristin gave us the perfect Valentine's gift to accompany them!! Leather business card holders with our initials engaved, and colors chosen to match our personalities. Ordering 1000 business cards a piece was a great deal for the price, but we all have realized that 1000 cards is really a lot of business cards!! To our wonderful friends and family be prepared to have a stack handed over to each of you!!! LOL We thank you in advance for all of your support!!
