The Houston Business Women event was everything I hoped it would be and then some! As soon as I arrived I was greeted by the founder Vanessa Agudelo with a welcoming smiling. The event was full of so many beautiful, talented, like minded business women. There were delicious hors d'oeuvres and tasty treats served throughout the night. There was also a photo booth with a wonderful real pink flower wall....what girl doesn't love taking pictures with her new friends? The event was informative and rewarding in so many ways. It felt like a supportive environment for all women to come together, network, and uplift each other. I can't wait for the next event.

I attended the first networking affair/launch and it was AMAZING to say the least! I went into it not knowing anyone else, but left with so many new connections! The event was incredible! Vanessa really outdid herself planning every single detail to a T! The venue, decor and vendors were all so beautiful! She made sure the event was business oriented, but fun and fabulous at the same time! I remember being at the event and taking a moment to realize just how special that event was. So many strong, beautiful and intelligent women all in one place, supporting each other and motivating each other to be the best we can be! I established new relationships through HBW and I am so grateful! I cannot wait for the next event! I know it is only going to get bigger and better! Thank you HBW and Thank you Vanessa!
