I am woman, hear me roar?

by Molly Schemper

A couple month's ago I was contacted by a group called CRAVE Chicago . They explained that CRAVE was a coffee table book that highlighted dynamic, entrepreneurial women and that I should be included. I checked out the sample profile and was bowled over by how beautiful it was, I recognized lots of fellow female entrepreneurs (including NOW Studio and Spilled Ink Press), and I quickly decided I would be in good company.

Saya Hillman, the Chicago partner, was super enthusiastic and organized. I completed a biography, was hooked up with CRAVE volunteer photographer, Amy Boyle, for headshots, and was looking at my digital profile in no time flat. Last night was the official book launch party at Open Books (a non-profit bookstore in River North - donate your old books, get "new" books while donating to charity).

Seeing the book in print, I was even more impressed. It's gorgeous and a great thing to flip through if you're an entrepreneur, thinking about becoming an entrepreneur, or a young woman/girl still figuring out what you can do. Plus it gives you tons of great ideas of places to shop, eat, relax, conduct business, and support small local businesses. Can you say "stocking stuffer?" We've got books, if you're interested, contact me at molly@figcatering.com.
