SAVANNAH, Ga., – Emily McCarthy recently announced the second installment of “The Founder Edit,” a signature event featuring stories of entrepreneurship, work life balance, and brand growth and management.
Designer and author, Morgan Hutchinson, will join Emily to discuss her new memoir, Bipolar Blonde: A True Story of Suicide, Soulmates, and Starting Again. Morgan is the founder and creative force behind BURU, a beloved fashion brand known for its joyful approach to dressing and celebrating womanhood. In this debut publication, Morgan invites readers into a pivotal chapter of her life discussing the misconceptions around bipolar disorder and how hope and humor can exist with challenges.
“I am honored to welcome my friend Morgan into our space to discuss such an important topic,” said Emily McCarthy. “As a female business owner, I recognize both the challenges and joy that comes along with seeking balance between our professional and personal lives. I hope this conversation will bring inspiration to others within our community.”
“The Founder Edit” will be held at Emily McCarthy on Thursday, October 15th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Located at 2237 East Victory Drive, ticket sales will include a copy of the book, beverages, and bites.
