It’s Small Business Week, Birmingham – Let’s Celebrate the Hustle!
You already know I’m always here for a good reason to cheer on local dream-chasers, and this week is basically a big confetti cannon celebration of everything we stand for: bold ideas, big heart, late nights, and “we’re doing this thing anyway” kind of energy.
Yep…it's officially Small Business Week, and if you’re a maker, creator, builder, hustler, or “I-don’t-know-what-you-call-it-but-I’m-doing-it-anyway” type of human… this week is for us.
And guess what? Birmingham is showing up with some really cool events, opportunities, and free resources that I think every single one of us should know about.
🔥 First up-Free Coworking Week at Forge
Listen, if you've been working from your kitchen table, the couch, or some questionable Wi-Fi at a coffee shop… it’s time. Pack your laptop bag, grab your favorite pens, and treat yourself to some ✨ focus and flow ✨ at Forge in downtown Birmingham.
They’re offering FREE coworking all week long, which is basically a golden ticket to new energy, new connections, and new ideas. Plus, it’s cute in there. (Yes, vibes matter.)
Oh, and if you stop by, be sure to shoot me a message or stop by and see me! I’ll give you a look around member areas & show you my favorite space to work on sunny days, the penthouse patio.
Events You Don’t Want to Miss (For Real)
Birmingham is doing the most this week, and I am here for it. If you’re looking to meet new people, learn something useful, or just remind yourself that you’re not alone on this wild ride… here’s what’s going down:
Think workshops, panels, meetups, and moments that feel like mini breakthroughs.
Whether you need help with strategy, visibility, or just want to meet other business owners doing big things—you’ll find something here.

If you’re in the season of “ok but how do I scale this thing sustainably?” — THIS is for you.
Sometimes we get so busy building the dream that we forget to look up and celebrate how far we’ve come.
This week is your reminder:➡️ You are not small just because you’re running a small business.
➡️ The work you do matters—even on the quiet, messy, non-Instagrammable days.
➡️ You are part of something bigger: a creative economy, a community, a movement.If you're a one-person-show, a team of ten, or still in the “should I actually do this?” phase~ this week is an open door. Walk through it.
Let’s Link Up + Light Each Other Up
If you're heading to any of the events this week, let me know! I'll be bouncing between Forge, a few business alliance workshops, and probably talking way too much about storytelling, branding, and all things creative biz life.
We’re not meant to do this alone. And Birmingham? She’s ready for your magic.
Keep building. Keep showing up. And don’t forget to take a minute this week to be proud of yourself.
Big love,
Jennifer
