Although both women are business owners and come from different entrepreneurial backgrounds, they have managed to leave a significant imprint on the Jacksonville community.
fashionShop Pretty Pieces boutique collaborated with Coleman to launch the “I Am A Prize” collection on Monday, Dec. 19.
“There are three amazing choices and they all embody: I am here. I am walking in this room, and I am absolutely the prize,” Banks said. Despite their 20-year gap in age, Banks said she has learned a lot -- especially about networking -- from Coleman through the years and continues to be inspired by her tenacity.
“I knew when it came to doing business and networking, that’s my happy place. 2019 was a defining moment for me because I felt like I was becoming my own woman. I wasn’t waiting on anybody’s approval. I said, ‘You know what, I’m going to do it.’ And when I [launched] it was supposed to start off with 30 people in a small room, and it turned into 150 people packing out the back room of a building,” Coleman said.
Coleman said every event builds on the previous year and this year Coleman was “intentional” with selecting the speakers who would pour knowledge into the audience. She knew the foundation for strong businesses was established during the first event in 2019. Now, Coleman said, it’s time to dig deeper and become grounded in those businesses.
“Across the board, people are really buying into the vision and I appreciate it so much because I literally started in a barbershop. That was the first venue I tried to book and now we’re at the Prime Osborn,” Coleman said.
