Power Mamas celebrates 11 of our favorite female founders for their leadership and creativity—as they balance the difficulties of entrepreneurship with raising the next generation. As part of our Lil 6ers launch (coming soon!), we've taken words that inspired each of them as they grew their business, paired them with a Society6 artist and brought their words to life as children's wall art. A percentage of all proceeds for these limited-run pieces will go to P.S. ARTS to further arts education in underprivileged communities.

"This saying is so close to my heart because it's how I live my life every day. Whether it's with my business, friendships, motherhood, or my emotional health. I always remind myself to live authentically and that the most important voice to listen to is my own. I love it so much that I even have it tattooed on my arm :)"

“In business, I have learned many will mistake someone’s kindness for weakness. I always tell others: be true to your character and don’t be dissuaded - there’s nothing more empowering to me than being underestimated.”

"I've always taken an organic approach to growing my business. I started the business by designing pieces that I wanted to wear and haven't stopped doing that in 20 years. Rather than focusing on rapid growth, I've focused on creating product that I love and working with people who share that same passion, and the growth has come on its own."

"It's important to have a thick skin, especially as a female founder and resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. It's important to always be able to pull yourself back up when you're down and keep going."
