The Truth About Community
Host: Amy Antony
Info: Women’s History Month feels like the right time to tell the truth.
Community gets talked about like it’s all warmth and sisterhood… but anyone who has built something knows it’s a little more complicated than that.
Support and competition.
Belonging and gatekeeping.
Collaboration and quiet burnout.
At this month’s Strong Women Strong Coffee, we’re opening the conversation about what community really looks like for women building businesses, organizations, and spaces.
Together we’ll explore:
What women actually owe each other in community
The invisible labor of being “the connector”
When it’s time to leave a space you helped build
What honest support really looks like

WBC 15 Year Anniversary | Vendor Market
Info: Louisville, clear your morning and leave a little room in your tote bag.
The Women’s Business Center of Kentucky is celebrating 15 years of helping entrepreneurs turn bold ideas into thriving businesses, and we’re bringing the celebration to FlyHip Ageless for a special market edition of Strong Women Strong Coffee.
This time, we’re trading the usual presentation format for more of what everyone really wants: good coffee, meaningful conversations, new connections, and plenty of time to shop Kentucky businesses.
Spend the morning meeting entrepreneurs, discovering locally owned brands, exploring business resources, and making the kind of connections that continue long after the coffee cups are empty.
