Libby Grier
Executive Director/Producer WYTV7
It’s crucial for women to step into leadership roles because it challenges society’s outdated idea of men as the leaders and neglects to show the power, influence, and talent of women. As a leader, I love meeting people, learning things about what they do, and connecting them with others to stimulate growth.
Karen Legrant
CEO/President WYTV7
Women have a lot to bring to the table in our experiences and mindset, and those different points of view bring valuable diversity. In my position, I’m able to take the best of what everyone gives me and pull it together to create a successful finished product that ultimately helps the people of our community.

Board Certified Endodontist & Diplomate to the American Board of Endodontics
Being a woman-owned business states to the community that this person is bold enough to do what many others do not. This person cares about their community and relationships. Seeing women do what may seem near impossible serves as inspiration and motivation for others to start their own business and take control over their paths.

Having women in leadership positions is crucial for creating more equitable, inclusive, and prosperous communities. By inspiring other women and girls to pursue their own ambitions and break gender stereotypes, we become influencers in our communities and ensure that our voices are heard and considered.
Ramona Schiefelbien
Owner, Waxhaw Taphouse
There are so many women who own businesses here in Waxhaw and I’m proud to be part of that group. It allows other women to see that it can be done, even in a male-dominated industry like the beer industry. It is a need everywhere to have that kind of visibility and diversity in a community.
