Hi, Pinkies! Dana here. Owning Pink has become a force in the world. Can you feel it? Not only can we feel it, we can measure it and we've been growing at over 400% a quarter since Lissa started her blog almost a year ago.
As Lissa has intimated, the Owning Pink site is going to change in the next month or so. Pretty soon we're going to have more blog posts, more opporutnity for everyone to participate and more opportunities for Pinkies to share their stories of wellness, self-discovery and getting their Mojo back. No matter what your path, you'll have a home here at Owning Pink.
Garnering Support
To grow and continue to provide this safe space for everyone, we need to reach out to get some sponsors for the site. But in true Owning PInk fashion, we don't want to just bombard ourselves with ads and logos, we want to do things differently. I mean, we're being authentic here. Why accept sponsors who don't make the same commitment?
We're going to reach out to some of our favorite "pink" companies and invite them to hep us change the world- to join us authentically, contribute to our knowledge, share their causes with us, and shine a light on the good work they're doing in the world. And if their products and services are good, we're going to recommend them to each other (and if they're not, we're going to tell each other that too!).
Whom to approach?
So here's where we need your help. Tell us which companies you think are Pink! Which ones have great products that contribute to your health and wellness? Which ones are good corporate citizens of the world? Which ones treat you like a human being instead of a statistic? These are the companies we want to invite to help us Own Pink as we grow. Let us know which of these companies already recognized for corporate citizenship you would like to see here. Also, you can leave your suggestions in the comments below and if you know anyone at the company we can call, email me at dana [at] owningpink.com.
Woman are the greatest economic force in the world. Let's own the power of our wallets and reward the companies we like doing business with and ask them to support us.
Love, light, and growing growing growing,
Dana

What about Whole Foods? I also wondered about Nike, not sure. I know they host a women's run here every year. I'll put my thinking cap on.
Love, Caren
