San Diego SoCal Empowerment
We invite you to join us for a day full of education, business and empowerment. Organized and hosted by the CEO and Founder of Little Linda's Lashes, Linda Rodriguez. On April 17th 2026, we would love for you to come meet our team of successful leaders who have been able to guide and mentor so many entrepreneurs in achieving their goal no matter what they are pursuing. After 7 years in the Industry, it is no secret that there needs to be far more in depth education and knowledge on how to properly start your own business. When I was growing up I wasn't taught the importance of credit, taxes, business education and I surely had no clue where to begin when I realized I had my own dreams of becoming a salon owner. We have put together this event to hopefully empower, educate, and motivate our audience to start their own successful business journey. We will be hosting numerous "crash courses" and educational workshops from each individual educator. Our amazing educators will be sharing their individual success stories and knowledge from our licensed industry leaders, financial advisors, book keeper, & tax preparer to share all the tips and tricks of staying organized while running your business. We would love for you to be a part of our movement So Cal Empowerment as we gather like minded individuals from all over! Please join us for this one of a kind all ages and gender event. Please continue to follow up on our instagram page as more speakers and details will be released.
