Featured Fempreneur: How to Host a Profitable Live Event As a First Time Organizer with Makeda Mutema-Newton

Planning an event or workshop, whether a couple of hours or multi-day, can be one of the most beneficial (but stressful!) things you can do in your business. Your event can help educate people in your network or community, build better relationships and make you some money!
