SRR: A Space for Rooted Growth
She is Rooted & Rising (SRR) is our in-person women’s community founded by Dr. Kat Besas to foster meaningful friendships, authentic connection, networking, personal growth, and a supportive space for ambitious women to rise together. Community reminds us that we were never meant to navigate life alone.
