Joining Ladies Who Launch is one of the best decisions that I have made both personally and professionally. I am constantly learning from and being motivated by the cool women in this group. So many doors have opened and I have made so many great friends since I joined the second LWL incubator in Los Angeles in 2005. Thanks to LWL, I even got to take Zen Baby to London, Bahrain, and Dubai last October with British Airways Face of Opportunity!
