September’s Wealth Building DIVAs meeting brought creativity, entrepreneurship, and personal expression into the spotlight in a way that was both refreshing and inspiring.
On September 5th, 2025, women gathered at Centennial Hall inside the Burlington Public Library, Central Branch for a morning that celebrated thinking differently—both in business and in life. The atmosphere in the room was curious and energized, as attendees leaned into a conversation that explored creativity as a powerful form of entrepreneurship.
The discussion, “Highlighting the Entrepreneurial Spirit of Alka Bailey,” was led by Alka Bailey, an artist known for transforming unconventional surfaces into unique works of art. Through her story and perspective, attendees were introduced to a different way of looking at opportunity—one that sees potential where others might not.
What made this session stand out was how it challenged traditional thinking. The conversation wasn’t just about art—it was about innovation, resourcefulness, and having the vision to turn the ordinary into something meaningful and valuable. Attendees were encouraged to reflect on how they approach their own businesses and where they might be overlooking opportunities to stand out.
As the discussion unfolded, the room became more engaged, with attendees connecting over shared experiences of creativity, problem-solving, and growth. By the time networking began, conversations were already rooted in inspiration and new perspective.
Attendees had the opportunity to win a door prize generously donated by Alka Bailey, adding an extra touch of creativity and excitement to a morning filled with inspiration and connection.
This wasn’t just a networking meeting—it was a reminder that creativity plays a powerful role in entrepreneurship. If you weren’t there, you missed a conversation that could shift how you see opportunity in your own business.
