Okay, here’s the official line: Stacy Cassio is the Founder & CEO of the Pink Mentor Network. It’s through Pink Mentor that Stacy shares her personal experience with the power of mentorship. She knows her own career & business have been shaped by the opportunities introduced to her by mentors. And, she wants women across Charlotte to have similar experiences.

Here’s our line: When it comes to doing good and building up everyone around her, Stacy Cassio is a Grade-A Bad Ass. (Again, our words, not hers.)

Stacy founded Pink Mentor, Charlotte’s 1st female mentorship community, in 2017. Since then, she’s dedicated her life to reshaping how women seek & obtain mentorship. Her model has embraced & empowered hundreds of Charlotte women by teaching them there has “Never Been a Woman We Couldn’t Learn From.”

That’s a big mission, so it’s a good thing Stacy has boundless energy. It’s hard to pin her down. But, we did. Before she takes the stage at CreativeMornings/Charlotte gathering on Friday, February 7 (you can get FREE tickets HERE), we got Stacy to recommend four Charlotte Instagram accounts all of us should follow. Stacy’s stock-in-trade is uncovering inspiring Queen City women, so when she says these four are tops, we’re in.

Here are Stacy’s Picks:

“Here are four women-owned businesses making a big impact in our city!” – Stacy Cassio

She is also bringing other local comedians with her through the Beerly Funny platform. Follow them to find out where Charlotte’s top comedy talent will be.” – Stacy Cassio

@scarfandblazer

“Tara West & Kristin Prentice have created some the most empowering tees in Charlotte through their company, Scarf & Blazer. I love following them to see what’s the latest statement tee & which Charlotte woman is wearing it.” – Stacy Cassio

@sunshinemedianetwork

“Sometimes, we just need some SUNSHINE around this city! Jennifer Moxley & her firm, Sunshine Media Network, shine a whole lot of goodness on CLT. I love watching this account to see who she’s working with & how to be a stronger communicator.” – Stacy Cassio
