Education and support are crucial for helping more young women access and explore a future in the arts. Erin Prather Stafford is the Founder of Girls That Create, where she provides resources that help to empower women of all ages to think creatively and pursue their creative passions. Women creators are greatly underrepresented in the media, and because of this, we are seeing a lack of inspiring and motivational messages for today's young women. To start tipping the scales, we need to start having conversations with young women as early as possible, and educate them about the resources they need to pursue their creative interests. While respecting the boundaries of our time and value, we need to be more adamant about sponsoring and mentoring the women we believe in so they can chase the creative life of their dreams. Help support woman creatives by engaging with their work!

💲 Girls That Create helps parents talk with kids about substance abuse and financial skill sets and support them in their creative career choices: just because you're creative doesn't mean you'll be a starving artist. 09:07

📚 When people ask for favors, you should have some resources available but also have boundaries and charging rates. 24:44
💜 The easiest, most simple way to support women creatives is to go see their work. 29:38

What is She Leads®: The Podcast for Women Entrepreneurs Building to $1 Million and Beyond?
The go-to podcast for women entrepreneurs scaling to $1 million and beyond while building lasting wealth — real talk, no fluff.
Each week, host Adrienne Garland goes deep with bold women entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders across the globe — stripping away the sugar-coating to get at what actually matters for driven women growing their businesses for profit and impact. Adrienne is a Professor at NYU and Rice University, an entrepreneur and advisor, an MBA grad, and that bold business friend who asks the questions other women in business podcasts shy away from.
Topics covered: scaling to seven figures and why it matters for women and the world, funding women-owned businesses, amplifying your voice and visibility, building high-value networks, leadership, designing entrepreneurial ecosystems that benefit humanity, the importance of financial acumen and literacy, and wealth building strategies
Less than 2% of women-owned businesses scale beyond seven figures.
She Leads® exists to change that.
