| [Garden & Gun] In the fall of 2019, Garden & Gun released its latest book, Southern Women, chronicling the stories of more than a hundred of the region’s most accomplished females. This year, G&G partnered with Synovus to lift these stories off the page, presenting the three-part speaker series Southern Women in Business. The online and in-person discussions featured groundbreaking businesswomen in the realms of investing, culinary arts, retail, and more, including G&G cofounder and CEO Rebecca Darwin, chef Nina Compton, designer Cristina Lynch, and fashion industry leader Laura Vinroot Poole. When it came to partnering with Garden & Gun on Southern Women in Business, Synovus was a natural fit. The company began in a Georgia textile mill, where one of its founders helped secure the hard-earned savings of a female worker after her money was spilled on the factory floor. "Beginning with that simple act of kindness, we have a rich legacy of supporting women, who will continue to strongly influence the future of the South," says chief strategy officer Liz Wolverton. To dive deeper into these stories, we chatted with some of the panelists on the joys and challenges of being a woman in their field. |
