A free event in Fort Worth this weekend will celebrate women-owned businesses. Women's Market – Sip & Shop is hosted by a diverse organization called Women Who Collab.
Rachel Dickens founded a networking group that brought together women of all backgrounds. A community of women gathers quarterly to lift each other up through life, career, and business.
Women Who Collab is rooted in Dickens' own experiences. She is the only female in a male family and valued female friendships as she grew up.
“I found myself drawn to different groups of women, whether it was for different purposes, whether it was social, business, whatever, but between those groups… “It often felt like there was a disconnect,” she said. “So I decided to come up with Women Who Collab to bridge those gaps and enable collaboration.”
Dickens will expand its Women Who Collaborative brand on Sunday with a new drink and shop event. The pop-up market will showcase products and services owned or manufactured by women.
“We have a different workshop every hour and some kind of self-care workshop, so we're excited about those. We also have over 25 different female vendors, from permanent jewelry to boutiques to accessories, The same goes for other self-care vendors,” Dickens said.
The public is urged to support women-owned businesses.
