We had the good fortune of connecting with She Murphy and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi She, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
Never give up. Your experiences are what shape you! Align and focus, that’s law.
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
SheCreates Visions does just that; create.
Although curating experiences is the core of our mission, SheCreates offers a unique, consultative approach to our clients as well.
We enjoy collaborating and building with entrepreneurs. We understand the complexities of putting an event together; from research and working with vendors, to execution. We absolutely love working with all facets of people to create their special moments, but we found a special love for working with creative entrepreneurs. When you are busy building a brand or servicing clients, you need a team to support and streamline the process along the way.
As founder, I discovered a way to meet passion with purpose. Having a love for curating experiences mixed with the passion for building brands, SheCreates was birthed through prayer and perseverance. Once I believed that I was truly unique, I could literally feel levels unlocking from within and eveything began to make sense.
SheCreates is that we are a self taught brand! I am a Certified Special Events Coordinator through Emory, but concept, theme, + design stems from manifestation, practice, and the ability to believe I am capable of my greatest desires. There’s something astonishing about creative expression. And is key to our conceptual process.
With natural ambition and drive, occasionally I would fall victim to feeling uninspired, unworthy, and unaccomplished which led me to highs and lows throughout my entrepreneurial journey. Truth is, I was afraid of success and what my life would be like during the process. I was DETERMINED to overcome; and I did.
These are reasons why SheCreates collaborates with entrepreneurs. I understand the struggle and what it feels like to want your brand to be heard.
Was it easy? No. I am still learning every single day. My industry is rated top 5 for most stressful jobs . As stressful as event planning may be, it’s so rewarding to see the final results after all of the effort you put into creating the perfect experience for your clientele.

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?
I’d like to shoutout anyone who has ever supported the brand, Thank you!
I give credit to my business partners, supporters and friends who showed up as a helping hand and cheered me on when I needed it most.
Blessings.
