At CNKDaily, we are not only striving to build a community of strong women. We are also working to empower women to support each other through entrepreneurship and positive impact. While we are connected through a common bond of sneakHER style, there are so many ladies who are building their own brands from beauty to apparel to art.

Within our CNK content, we pride ourselves on serving as a voice in sneakHER culture but also providing opportunities to female creatives and business owners. The boss babes are truly brand architects who know what it takes to build, while inspiring us in the process. During Women’s History Month, we are taking our CNK spotlight to introduce some of the brands we are loving, shopping, and saluting. During times like these, it’s more important than ever to support small businesses.

She has a unique (and incredible) way of merging interior design with culture, creating energy that gives your space a life of it’s own.
