Women Who Hustle shines a light on side hustles, makers and micro-business across the Orana

The festival’s Women Who Hustle events focus on something rarely highlighted in traditional business coverage — the women building micro-businesses and side hustles around work, family and community life. The program includes a free breakfast panel and the lively Women Who Hustle Markets, led in part by Sarah Hamilton from Three Moody Heifers, who will also speak on the free breakfast panel.
