She’s also the COO of StreetCredit Coworking and Events, which is housed inside CRED’s headquarters. Crawford is doing something amazing for women-owned businesses in Detroit on International Women’s Day: hosting a Girl Boss Pop-Up Event and Social.

Rolling out caught up with Crawford to talk more about her first-of-its-kind event.

Tell us about your event.

The Girl Boss Pop-Up and Social Event was formed out of a collaboration of more than 100 Detroit women business owners who joined forces and organized a citywide “Shop Hop” to celebrate and draw attention to the vast number of women-owned businesses in Detroit on International Women’s Day.

StreetCredit Coworking and Events takes it a step further by uniting more than a dozen startup, emerging, home-based and mobile businesses — who are without a storefront of their own — and are creating an opportunity to be part of this historic and important partnership with other Detroit women entrepreneurs. The Girl Boss Pop-Up showcases women entrepreneurs from both the upstart to the highly experienced. Get ready to explore culinary entrepreneurs, all-natural skin care products, Detroit-centered streetwear tees and more. We wanted to celebrate Women’s History Month by helping Detroit women business owners make history … and secure the bag!

Aside from women business owners, who else will be participating in your event?

We’ve also invited some guests to present some “fireside” chats alongside some of our business owners. We’ll also have game stations and some prizes.

What’s your role in the event?

I’m the COO of StreetCredit Coworking and Events. We promote and support startup and emerging small business ventures. This is why we decided that the ideal role for StreetCredit is to create a pop-up marketplace for women-owned businesses who don’t have their own storefronts.

Where can people find more information on the event?

Girl Boss Pop-Up and Social will take place from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Friday, March 8 in our industrial-style business and events complex located at 6340 E. Jefferson Ave., in Detroit’s rising east Riverfront District. People can connect with us via social media, Instagram @streetcred.det, Twitter @streetcreddet and Facebook @stcredit, look for the Crawford Real Estate & Development page. Also, our website is www.Womenindetroit.com and it lists the more than 100 women-owned Detroit storefronts participating in the Detroit Women’s Day Shop Hop.

Seth Curry Makes Impressive Debut with the Golden State Warriors

Seth looked comfortable in his new uniform, seamlessly fitting into the Warriors’ offensive and defensive system. He finished the night with an impressive 14 points, becoming one of the team’s top scorers for the game. Seth’s points came in a variety of ways – floaters, spot-up three-pointers, mid-range jumpers, and a handful of aggressive drives that kept the Oklahoma City Thunder defense on its heels.

Tuesday night was anything but ordinary for fans in San Francisco as Seth Curry made his highly anticipated debut as a new member of the Golden State Warriors. Seth didn’t disappoint, delivering a performance that not only showcased his scoring ability but also demonstrated his added value to the team.

At 35, the 12-year NBA veteran on Monday signed a contract to play with the Warriors for the rest of the season.

One of the most memorable moments of the evening came before Seth even scored his first points. As he checked into the game, the Chase Center erupted into applause, with fans rising to their feet to give the newest Warrior a standing ovation.

The crowd’s reaction was a testament not only to Seth’s reputation as a sharpshooter but also to the excitement he brings to the Warriors. It was clear that fans quickly embraced Seth as one of their own, eager to see what he could bring to the team’s championship aspirations.

Warriors’ superstar Steph Curry – Seth’s brother – did not play due to an injury. One could only imagine what it would be like if the Curry brothers were on the court together. Magic in the making.

Seth’s debut proved to be a turning point for the Warriors. Not only did he contribute on the scoreboard, but he also brought a sense of confidence and composure to the floor.

While their loss last night, OKC 124 – GSW 112, Seth’s impact was a game-changer and there’s more yet to come. Beyond statistics, it was clear that Seth’s presence elevated the team’s performance, giving the Warriors a new force as they look to make a deep playoff run.
