ABOUT THE BB COLLECTIVE
we started with a brunch . . .
we’ve grown from brunch to the collective
What started as a small networking event for women in business has evolved into a powerhouse community and resource hub. Over the last three years, Business Besties Brunch has grown beyond brunch—it’s now a network, a support system, and a movement. With BB Collective, we’re expanding to offer even more tools, connections, and experiences to help women thrive boldly.
