- The French Eclectic has an extensive collection of vintage and specialty furniture, props and decor rentals will take your event design to the next level, serving Charleston, SC and beyond!
- Charleston Accounting & Tax is operated by Teresa Zubrowski, a trusted Enrolled Agent with a talent for streamlining your business. CA&T is large enough to offer a full range of professional services at a fair price, but small enough to give you the individual attention that you deserve.
- The Naked Pantry Co. is South Carolina’s 1st zero-waste shop, located in Charleston, SC. Their mission is to sell plastic free products, sourcing local to lower the carbon footprint and reduce food waste.
- Gracie Brave Foundation is working to achieve this through our book, GRACIE BRAVE, merchandise, counseling, workshops and advocacy.
