March is Women’s History Month, and we, at The Franchise Woman, are happy to say that we celebrate women each and every month! It is important to recognize the work that has gone before us as we look at where we are now and where the future will lead. In this issue, we take the perspective of legacy as a celebration of this month. What does it mean to our featured women to leave a legacy? How does franchising empower them with generational wealth? How are they using their legacy to give back?
Our cover story is a perfect example of all of these qualities. Mother Toya Evans along with daughters Chanel Grant and Lauren Williamson are building an empire of franchising brands and bringing health and wellness options to Prince Georges County in Maryland. They are looking for ways to bring their family generational wealth, but they are also conscious of giving back to their community. Chanel spearheads a nonprofit, A Bigger Picture” to mentor middle and high school girls. Check out this issue!
