You have to realize that creatives are the lungs of this earth. Where would we be without art? This year once again it is our pleasure to be part of LOUD Week. We always loved supporting our local creatives and couldn’t be prouder of all the talented individuals about to showcase today. Karine Melissa and her team has demonstrated that women supporting women is at her core. I learn something new with her every day. She received a proclamation last year from the city of Miami Gardens and this year she is doing it again at Level Three. Wishing all the creative success in their business and looking forward to seeing what the future holds for them.

At CoWerk, we aim to bring women fashionable “ work appropriate” clothing. We acknowledge the evolution of women in the workplace and now it’s time to enhance the wardrobe that coincides with this evolution. CoWerk contributes a great amount of time searching for the perfect pieces that not only fits our style, but most importantly fits our bodies. We pride ourselves on ensuring that our pieces are multipurpose - from the office, straight to date night. CoWerk is offered at an affordable price which gives customers a piece of mind when purchasing “work clothes”. The continuous growth in pop culture has allowed acceptance for self expression via your attire in the workplace, and we want to provide women the opportunity to adapt…fashionably.
