Meet Brittany Zanders | Boutique Owner & College Student

We had the good fortune of connecting with Brittany Zanders and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Brittany, we’d love to start by asking you about lessons learned. Is there a lesson you can share with us?
I want every girl to know that her voice can change the world. There is no limit to what we as women, can accomplish. Many women handle numerous responsibilties and operate many roles that may become unnotice. RAW Boutique49 is an eternal bond between all women , and share accomplishments among women. Women support women through the ups and downs as a village. A woman’s voice changes the world where others respect the dynamics of being a strong woman. Women can express themselves by shopping therapy and enjoy themselves minus being superwoman.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Embrace everything you are as a woman. Even your flaws too. And the things that you want to fix, you make them better.” — Kelly Rowland As a mother, we always put others first and tackle all responsibilities with no hesitation. These changes may possibly put self-care on the back burner. You must remind yourself that women are the voice of making changes. Self-care is critical for all women to reduce stress, improve health, stay motivated and live life unapologetically. Our mission is to rebuild the women empowerment bond where we embrace each other through rain and sunshine. Women supporting women demonstrates that we can set aside our differences and uplift unconditional love. In June 2020, my mental health became noticeable due to anxiety and trauma from a car accident. There were days when I wouldn’t be the normal woman everyone knew me as. It became a struggle that not only affected me but my daughters and our queen, not herself. When I took an isolation break in September, my mother gave me a heart-to-heart conversation in that I understood the dynamics of being a strong woman. As a strong woman, promise to put yourself first. It would help if you became authentically and unapologetic. Always love yourself, stay strong, and heal yourself with others that understand & willing to step in as a sister that cares about her sisters. RAW Boutique49 is an eternal bond between women that express their needs and know that they are still beautiful. Embrace your inner beauty and unleash your baddie ego. In 2023, rebirth your purpose and shock those who said you cannot do it. My brand supports women and uplift women to express their beauty. The empowerment bond allow women to come together and share new visions and ideas which empowers young women to achieve their goals. I am most of proud of my business because I decided to become a mom boss where I build an empire that becomes a legacy to my daughters. I believe that I am in the position now because my struggles and challenges change my life. In addition, I returned to school and apply myself to become a better entrepreneur. I became more involved in my spiritual journey and surrounded myself with positive people who understand me as a mother.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend visit me in Georgia, I would take her to Watermelon Creek Winery in Glennville. The view resembles a peaceful setting with great tasteful food and sweet wine. The country scenery allows you to enjoy the breeze in the woods and see how pretty the scene looks different than the city.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My deepest recognition belongs to my beloved mother, ZaRita. A mother knows their child, and continues to pray over your child no matter the age. When I was growing up, my mother experienced many tactics that pushed her forward to become a strong women. She never let her story downplay her, but allowed her story rebuild her strength. My daughters and Rebecca Williams have been in an unexplainable blessing that continues to hold my heart. When you become a mother, you began to change your dynamics because the ones who love you unconditional.
