Are you ready to join a vibrant community that supports and encourages you to become the best version of yourself?

Who we are: The WNC Lagniappe (Women's Network Connection) is a vibrant community dedicated to empowering women through networking, collaboration, and support. This group fosters relationships among women across various industries, providing a platform for sharing resources, knowledge, and experiences. With a focus on professional development and personal growth, WNC Lagniappe hosts events, workshops, and discussions that inspire and uplift its members. By promoting inclusion and diversity, the group aims to create a dynamic environment where women can thrive, build meaningful connections, and achieve their goals together.

We gather on the last Friday of each month. We are a lively community of inspiring women who uplift one another on our unique journeys. By coming together, we harness the power of our connections and explore the incredible heights we can achieve!

We will be networking with about 40-50 ladies, so please remember to bring your business cards and any business offers you would like to share.

Join our incredible tribe of women who will stand by your side through life’s challenges.

Together, we create an unstoppable force for positivity and motivation!

I’m Helena Richardson, founder of HRichnetworks and a former NASA IT specialist. My journey began during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina when I developed a passion for uplifting others. I am truly passionate about uplifting women-owned businesses and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMBs). My focus is on helping clients establish a robust online presence, and I offer a dynamic range of services to achieve this goal. My services include:

• Engaging Website Design
• Innovative App Development
• Strategic SEO
• Effective Social Media Management
• Insightful Consulting
• Comprehensive Training

Together, we can create a powerful impact and drive success for your business!

I’m committed to bridging the technology gap for businesses, ensuring that digital resources are accessible to all. I understand many women's heavy responsibilities often lead to neglecting their well-being. My personal experience with loss has ignited my passion for self-care and community support.

I founded the WNC Lagniappe to provide women entrepreneurs with resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities. This nurturing space helps women unlock their potential and turn dreams into reality.

We enthusiastically invite you to join our vibrant community on the last Friday of each month! In just one hour, we can inspire and uplift one another on our unique journeys. Together, let's harness the strength of our connections and discover the amazing heights we can reach!
