A majority of women-owned businesses give back to their communities and this incredible group of local leaders is no exception.

Proud to have taken part in the 4th Annual ‘Women Helping Women’ scholarship for , organized by the Female Business Owners of Manchester (FBOMs). 😘

This year’s scholarship was awarded to Lindsey Mylott, a determined student pursuing a degree in business. With college credits already earned through CCV, she’s stepping into her next chapter with momentum.

Many of the women behind this effort are BBA alumnae (Go Bulldogs!) themselves, paying it forward in the very community that shaped them. Ellen Adams, BBA ‘94, who organizes this annual initiative says,  “this scholarship is about more than money—it’s about mentorship, encouragement, and showing these young women what’s possible.”

The world feels heavy, and I had no plan, no real supplies… just some white acrylic, a few old tubes of gouache, and my late grandmother’s easel and palette knife.

I just needed to play with color.

I have wicked imposter syndrome. No training in art beyond high school. I’ve never used a palette knife before. I didn’t know what I was doing. Maybe that was the point.

This feels tender to share—I might take it down later. But maybe someone else needed a little color today too. There’s color behind the storm.

I hope.
