Create.Connect.Collab is a virtual community for women that offers professional development, accountability and networking.
The business, co-owned by Starla Mathis and Lateva Woolfork, started off as a focus group in Mathis’ living room in 2017.

“Each month, I saw this amazing synergy, and we started sharing resources and connections that we didn’t know about or have access to. It was just amazing seeing that,” said Mathis.
Calling them Monthly Mastermind Meetings, the group tackled bringing to life the vision they had for their professional goals.
That turned into a private Facebook group, which eventually turned into a retreat for women across the city.
Create.Connect.Collab has a membership of over 100 women who are entrepreneurs and business owners that cultivate sisterhood.
This year the company will host its fifth annual Unstoppable Retreat.
“Every year around November, we get together and have something where the public can see what Create.Connect.Collab is all about. We’ll have panels to talk about everything that an emerging business owner needs to have,” said Woolfork.
Using a term they heard from Patricia Gamble-Moore, the retreat will focus on B.A.I.L, which stands for banker, accountant, insurance and lawyer – all the elements a business owner needs to have in their corner for success.
The event is Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023.
