CNK Spotlight: Female Owned Businesses to Watch This Month
Image: @unsophisticater IG
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 connecting opportunities for female creatives and business owners. These boss babes are truly brand architects who know what it takes to build, while inspiring us in the process. For May, 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.
Trice Studios.
by Jontrice Murray
With so many creatives on the horizon, sometimes we all need that individual who can bring our vision to life. Jontrice Murray has an eye for fashion and unique ways to conceptualize the intersection of multiple industries. From fashion meets lifestyle to art and music, Jontrice works closely with her clients to bring amazing imagery to reality. She is a consistent student of her craft and not to mention, but her sneakHER game is pretty clean. We personally give her our stamp of approval.
Live Deeply Rooted.
By Sopha Rush
During these challenge times, our patience and faith can be tested. We are forced to adjust to a new normal and we need reminders that keep us rooted in the right direction. Each morning we wake up and tune into the message on @livedeeplyrooted, founded by Sopha Rush. She has created a community and a sisterhood that works hard to stay rooted in God’s word. If you consider yourself a beginner when it comes to intentional prayer, Sopha has you covered with prayer guides and resources to get you started.
