Fig & Dove Founder Recognized as a 2019 Influential Woman in Business

Article originally published by Baton Rouge Business Report.

Somehow, they make it all look so easy. The high-pressure careers. The growing families. The service on local boards and volunteer efforts at area nonprofits.

The 2019 Influential Women in Business balance all of these demands, and more, with grace and humility. But, of course, it's not easy - and it hasn't been a leisurely climb for any of this year's 10 honorees. And while their personal and career paths are varied, there are a few common threads that emerge when speaking with the honorees about how they've reached this point in their lives. 

They take risks. They persevere in the face of failure. They have strong support networks, both at work and at home. They believe in themselves. They are compassionate. They pray. And at the end of a long day, they know how to decompress and recharge for the next challenge that awaits them. 

For 22 years now, Business Report has been honoring the incredible women in our community who are making the Capital Region a better place to live, work and play. As you'll learn in their profiles on the following pages, this year's honorees have already achieved much, but they're not anywhere near the finish line.
