THANK YOU TO OUR CHAMBER PARTNERS!
The Coast is filled with trailblazing female entrepreneurs who turned their visions into thriving small businesses. Overcoming obstacles and taking leaps of faith, these remarkable women created companies that have become community staples.
We received hundreds of nominations from throughout South Mississippi, ranging from restaurants and sweets shops to health care providers and beauty businesses.
“I’m honored to be nominated!” says Autumn King, owner of Wicked & Wonder Design. “It can be a little more difficult for some small business owners like myself that don’t have a physical location or the budget for advertising.”
