The group calls itself Women Wednesdays. It provides a space for female entrepreneurs to get advice on running a business. Tarsha Davis is the coordinator for Women Wednesdays. She is also a small business owner who attends the meetings weekly.

“The atmosphere here is such that anybody can get up and feel comfortable never having spoken before,” Davis said. “We’re not a super oiled machine, but Women Wednesday provides a no-stress, no-pressure zone for women to really get what they need to build themselves and build a business. That’s what makes us unique.”

The organization wants women of all ages to feel comfortable in their professional endeavors.

The group meets every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Domi Station.
