She Got Her Own

BY CAPUCINE HOLMES

Women have a natural intuition to nurture the world and make things right. As women continue to evolve in their own destiny through the journeys in their lives, they are uniting to use their power in the world. Christia’n Annice is capturing the momentum through her business, the She Got Her OWN Network.

Annice, who is also owner of the Water Bar & Lounge, started the network after she lost her job and was forced to support herself outside the bounds of traditional employment. She wanted something different — and entrepreneurship was the difference. The experience inspired her to help other women to embrace entrepreneurship.

She attended a Billionaires Roundtable at Caesars, where she experienced an up-close-and-personal lesson from Janice Bryant Howroyd, a black woman entrepreneur and CEO of the ACT-1 Group — the largest multi-billion dollar privately held, woman owned workforce solutions company founded in the U.S. Christian embraced Howroyd’s inspiration by excelling into her own. She embraces the power of women in economic development, and sees her lounge as a place where powerful women can network, create and evolve.

The Girlfriends and Champagne Women Empowerment Brunch, held at the Water Bar and Lounge, honored celebrities like actress Elise Neal, hip-hop legend Roxanne Shante and reality star Nia Riley. As these celebrities shared their struggles and triumphs, they inspired women to salute their own successes and always insist on having their own.
