Saturday, May 18th marked the 6th Annual Women's Empowerment Conference (AWEC) hosted by founder Shantera Chatman at the prestigious Houstonian Hotel. The cozy ballroom was transformed into an atmosphere where over 180 women from various backgrounds, ethnicities, and careers were able to network, empower, and inspire one another while learning how to "Launch Her" in 2013. Sponsors included: Comerica Bank, Houston Style Magazine, Morgan Stanley, North Highland Company, and Promed Rx Pharmacy. Check out Dawn Paul's social recap here of this event!
