Welcome to this issue of Elevate, where we explore not just peanut butter, but a lot of things women-owned businesses have been starting (and completing). There’s the story of how Nerdy Nuts helped turn a food desert into an oasis. There’s also the story of Western Mailers, where a stay-at-home mom turned owner shows that degrees and offices aren’t necessary to build a successful business. And our story on WAVI, a local women’s domestic violence shelter, brings attention to a issue that has become more pronounced during the recent pandemic.
