President’s Message: November — A Season To Thrive

Dear NAWBO Sisterhood,

November is here, and our theme for the month is THRIVE.

As women business owners, we spend so much time building, growing, solving problems, and showing up for everyone else. But I want to ask you something: Are you simply keeping your business going, or are you truly thriving?

Because thriving is about more than revenue, growth, or checking another goal off the list. It's about building a business that supports the life you want, creating meaningful relationships, and knowing you have a community cheering you on.

At NAWBO Greater Detroit, that's what our Members First commitment is all about.

As we move toward the end of the year, we're continuing to create opportunities for meaningful connections, professional development, and collaboration. We want you to leave every NAWBO experience with something valuable, whether that's a new relationship, a fresh perspective, or an idea you can put to work in your business.

And as we enter this season of gratitude, I want to thank YOU. Thank you for showing up, sharing your expertise, supporting your fellow members, and making our chapter a community where women business owners can thrive together.

Here's my challenge for November: Reach out to another NAWBO member. Schedule that coffee date. Celebrate someone's win. Share an opportunity. Sometimes helping another woman thrive is exactly what helps us grow, too.

Let's finish this year strong, not just surviving, but thriving — together.

With gratitude and bold intention,

Tenicia Moulden, Esq.
President, NAWBO Greater Detroit

A Message from the President: Gratitude in Action

Dear NAWBO Members,

As we begin November, I’m grateful for the women who make this community what it is—each of you.

Business ownership asks a lot of us. We make tough decisions, navigate uncertainty, and carry responsibilities that aren’t always visible. Having someone to call for honest advice, a helpful introduction, or encouragement can make all the difference.

This week, I invite you to turn gratitude into one small action: reach out to a fellow member. Thank her for something she’s shared, ask what she’s working toward, or offer an introduction that could help her business. A thoughtful connection can open a door neither of you expected.

As year-end demands begin to fill our calendars, let’s make time for the relationships that sustain us. Every conversation, referral, and act of encouragement helps build a chapter where women business owners can grow and succeed together.

Thank you for sharing your experience, your energy, and your support. I’m grateful to serve as your president and to be part of this community.

With gratitude,

Tenicia Moulden, Esq.
