Thank you S&P Global for inviting Roc-A-Natural to the Third Annual "Female Founders: Building with Purpose" International Women's Day event, Tuesday March 24th, 2026!

I was super excited to showcase Roc-A-Natural Body By R.A.N B-Oils and B-Butters and network with other incredible entrepreneurs and small businesses. The feedback from supporters who purchased my natural moisturizers or just stopped by my exhibit table to learn more, were extremely positive. Two patrons even returned with a friend during breakdown for a last minute purchase! What a testament!

A special thank you to Vanessa E-El for making the connection and creating a beautiful setup!

Thank you Muhsanat Choudhury, Victoria Kogan and entire S&P Global team for doing an amazing job in ensuring the vendors were logistically prepared for success!

Thank you for practicing the "Gift to Gain" motto and giving back to leaders and emerging leaders like myself through informative panelists and opportunity to expand the Roc-A-Natural LLC brand! I will continue to practice this empowering motto.
