“Grit opens doors even when systems don’t.”

This powerful idea from my recent discussion at the Yale Jackson School of Global Affairs with Teresa Chahine and Elizabeth Gore is a reality for so many of us women in business. But our work doesn’t stop at opening the door for ourselves. Our purpose is to redesign the entire system.

I’m thrilled to be featured in the “The Widening Path for Women Entrepreneurs” article which captures the essence of this mission. My work is dedicated to building enterprises where wellbeing is the business model and social and economic sustainability are the outcomes.

Energized by this discussion, I’m taking this message and momentum into my upcoming speaking engagements to help empower the next wave of conscious leaders, including my daughter, and learn from others:
🌻 She Means Business: Women’s History Symposium 3/28
The Lab

🌻 Purpose Driven Leadership: Women in Business Panel 3/31 Office of Inclusive Excellence and the Center for Women & Business

Happy Spring!

Today we kicked off our Spring Events Season with a beautiful celebration of life—a Gender Reveal!

Catch a glimpse of more in stories, which captures the essence of why I started this business: to cultivate a space for unapologetic joy, genuine connection, and community celebration…designed with taste!

Thank you to the Carr and Richard families. It’s a GIRL! 🌸
Here’s to more life!

SHE MEANS BUSINESS!

Imagine being IN THE ROOM for a brainstorming session with legends like Gladys West, Madam C.J. Walker, Annie Turnbo Malone, and Maggie Lena Walker! Talk about a POWER lunch!… Gladys, who’d probably say, “Let’s map out the future!” Madam would chime in with, “First, let’s ensure we look fabulous!” Annie would keep us focused, while Maggie would remind us to turn those hurdles into stepping stones!

Looking forward to channeling their legacy, vision, and self care with today’s trailblazers who are just as FIERCE!

Happy Women’s History month

This month, we celebrate the intertwining themes of love, compassion, and historical significance. As we flow in February, my heart is filled with warmth and excitement, marking BLOOM’s full return after a rejuvenating winter break…Starting with Valentine’s Day, which was a whirlwind! My deepest sentiments to ALL of our customers for choosing us to design for your beLOVED ones.
The floral designs were inspired by the vibrant tradition and arrival of Chinese New Year, in which we embrace the rich tapestry of culture that surrounds us.

February Collections also feature stunning sculptures—both artistic and tactile—that embody the essence of our community: poised, sturdy, and beautifully united.

Join us this month as we indulge in a season of love and celebration.
The color is RED.
The MOOD is resilient.
The spaces are SET:
Shop. Meet. EAT—Engage. Aspire. Thrive.

❤️ Alisha
