WESTWOOD—More than 25 local business women gathered at Market House on Wednesday, March 13 for the Third Annual “Ladies who Launch” event, hosted by Celebrate Westwood BizHub Committee at Market House (475 Broadway Suite B).
Market House, a Westwood staple for more than nine years, recently moved across town. The larger location is lush with thriving indoor plants and delightfully curated artisanal items created by local artists, crafters, and inventors. Inspired by the space and the energy of their entrepreneurial peers, “Ladies who Launch” attendees sipped hot and iced herbal tea from owner Chelsea Bogart’s new menu, while “spilling the tea” on their upcoming business initiatives, events, and cross-promotional opportunities.
The event brought together Westwood’s female entrepreneurs in celebration of Woman’s History Month, with a local spin. ArtsHub co-chairs Lauren Mandal (Yellow Door Art Studio, 24 Booker St.) and Heather O’Hara (Pippa & Boo Creative) led an interactive vision-board inspired sticker collage project, sending attendees home with their own self-designed notebooks.
Mandal and O’Hara also created a pop-art photo spot which allowed attendees to select their favorite inspirational quotes from famous women and insert themselves in that story. The photo spot was sponsored by the Contemporaries of the Woman’s Club of Westwood.
In 2023, the Ladies Who Launch event was the genesis of the BizHub committee which has grown to include more than seventy members across all industries within Westwood. This year’s event was just as inspirational as attendees sparked interest in new promotions, bettering existing shopping and dining events, and creating working groups.
