She Can
Our associate resource group, Women’s EDGE, is passionate about providing resources, support and a community for its female colleagues looking to grow personally and professionally. One of the many ways they do this is by organizing 84.51° Women’s Month programming. This year’s theme is focused on the accomplishments of strong, determined women: “She can.”
She can
Build communities with intention
To kick off Women’s Month, Amy Vaughan, owner and chief empowerment officer of Together Digital, explored the importance of creating meaningful connections wherever we are. Amy shared her best tips for creating a sense of community and connection as she has with Together Digital’s community of over 500 women across the country.
- Don’t wait to be included, include others
- Unplug to reconnect
- Model and invite vulnerability
She can
Follow her passion
Tammie Scott was so inspired by stories her grandmother used to tell about Cincinnati's Cotton Club, and noticing a void in the Cincinnati night scene, she decided to open Nostalgia Wine and Jazz Lounge. The opening was both meaningful and momentous for Tammie, who shared her learnings as a female entrepreneur, as well as the lessons she’s lived through and learned from.
- Never stop asking questions
- Trust your own journey because it’s different for everyone
- Identify people in your “village” whose strengths are different from yours
Recognizing our many sheroes
In honor of Women's Month 2023, Women's EDGE gave 84.51° associates the opportunity to recognize and celebrate the amazing ways that its ‘sheroes’ have made an impact by highlighting their achievements and showing gratitude.

I would like to recognize Barbara Connors for leading courageously. She is a wonderful example of female leadership and excellence in action – not only is she an incredible business leader, but she is also an empathetic and thoughtful people leader. She takes the time to listen and understand each and every voice. She inspires me (and many others) on a daily basis. Thank you, BC!
