We are pleased to welcome you to a LIVE Strong Coffee Strong Women- National Small Business Week Edition! The event will be in person at the Lab on Dexter in Montgomery, AL. This month we will be featuring Martha Hawkins, owner and founder of Martha's Place! We will open at 8:30 AM CT for the in-person event with the program starting at 9 AM CT. Refreshments will be available.
At Strong Coffee Strong Women, a successful woman shares her shot of inspiration, or “Espresso-monial.” If you are interested in connecting with other inventive, inspired, resourceful, and highly productive business owners and industry/government experts, this event is a must-attend.
Why you should attend:
Martha Hawkins was the tenth of twelve children born in Montgomery, Alabama. There was no money, but her childhood was full of love. Martha's mother could transform a few vegetables from the backyard into a feast and never turned away a hungry mouth. Memories of the warmth of her family's supper table would remain with Martha. Even as a poor single mother without a high school diploma, Martha dreamed of one day opening a restaurant that would make people feel at home. She'd serve food that would nourish body and soul. But time went by and that dream slipped further and further away as Martha battled the onset of what would later become a severe mental illness. But the thing about hitting bottom is that there's nowhere to go but up. Martha decided to step into God's promise for her life.
Her restaurant, Martha's Place, is now a nationally known destination for anyone visiting the Deep South and a culinary fixture of life in Montgomery. Martha only hires folks who are down on their luck, just as she once was.
