Testimonials—Inspiring Success

I first joined Women TIES while I was with my former employer. I was enamored by all the powerful women that I met. I began to dream, what if I was like one of them, in charge of my own successes and failures? In 2013 I opened my doors to The Funk and Jackson Group, LLC and haven't looked back.

Tracy Higginbotham and my Women TIES friends were the very first to voice their support and send along amazing encouragement. I felt incredibly empowered and ready to make that leap into owning and running my own fulltime business.

Through Women TIES, I have found the support of mentors and the joy of serving my own clients. Women TIES has been a great networking source. Every event I attend, I meet a woman that I can either do business with or help with a community project.

One of those women is Rebecca Dugger of Uniquely Designed Items. When I first met Rebecca she was a bit shy but ready to get out there and grow her business just the same. I worked with Rebecca to design her website and begin to evolve a marketing plan. In fact she was the first one I reached out to for custom designed lollypops for my sons birthday. She is very creative and a great resource for unique products.

At Women TIES, you do not simply grow your business and reputation; you grow your pool of smart, inventive and driven women who are all making an incredible impact in their communities. Thank you Tracy for helping introduce me to a powerhouse group of women!
