“When I began my own beauty skincare brand, Om Aroma & Co. and Savor Spa, I didn’t know how to find resources that were out there to help women succeed in business so I created Savor the Success — the support organization I was looking for,” says Angela Jia Kim, the founder of the conference. “I felt that I had to do it alone, and when I realized that there was so many women out there like me, I wanted to gather them under one roof for one day to inspire and educate. The goal is to help each other to dream, do, and savor the success.”
