Women In History & Women Making History Part 1 of 4

It is no secret that Sip and Ship is female owned, family oriented and community minded. Which is why we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate Women’s History Month with all of you!

Beginning today and every Monday this month, Sip and Ship will proudly present members of our own female leadership team. Giving you a chance to get to know these women and a woman in history that has inspired them and shapes their leadership style.

We have come to trust these four women over the years. As you will learn, and hopefully experience the next time you visit Sip and Ship, each of these women are truly exceptional. They possess the courage to lead, work hard to promote authenticity within our work culture and value teamwork as a bi-product of gratitude - always grateful for challenges that often serve as lessons in disguise and make us stronger, together.

This week, we are thrilled to introduce to you our assistant store manager at Greenwood Sip and Ship, Carrie White.

Carrie has worked her way up from an entry level position to her current role and we believe her potential is endless - the sky’s the limit! Carrie works with great purpose and passion. She loves to read and write poetry, care for her five fur-baby-ferrets and journey through life with her charming best friend and husband, Emilio.

Carrie’s team appreciates her thoughtfulness, bubbly personality and reliably positive support. When asked, a woman in history who keeps her focussed and motivated is “ Ethel Blanche Hairston, whose ring name was Ethel Johnson. She was the first African American woman professional wrestler at just 16 years of age. She lived her life with passion, courage and determination. Giving her all every day no matter the circumstances in 1950’s America. Every day I am reminded to find passion in all that I do, and remember that courage is a choice one has to make on their own.”

We’d love to hear what woman in history has influenced you? Come say hello to Carrie and our team at Greenwood Sip and Ship this week to honor this fierce female leader, team and the women throughout history who came before us.
