We asked for you to nominate the Bourbon Women you know doing remarkable things that show how we express our BW values in the wider world. In August, we are recognizing Kentucky Member Dawn Urrutia of Georgia’s Sweet Potato Pie Company nominated by Bourbon Women Board Member Carrie Coe.
“Dawn is the owner of Georgia’s Sweet Potato Pie Company. As part of her operations, she donates books to the community. She also hosts bourbon pairings with her baked goods. She is one of the most joyful people I know. Her smile is infectious and you can really feel her drive to help others in what she does. She is such a genuine person and someone you just want to be around.
Dawn empowers growth in her community by providing reading materials to help educate our youth. She seems to have such a strong community connection in her generosity to its people. I would love to see Dawn recognized by Bourbon Women. She is such a shining light among our members!”
Carrie’s nomination shows how Dawn took her passion for community and doing good work for others and instilled her entrepreneurial ventures with it. Her company’s tagline is “Pies with Purpose” and she’s often supporting the community for a cause close to her heart – enriching the lives of children and teens through literacy. She provides a free community library in her shop and strives to establish one in every zip code in Louisville. For more on how she’s making change in her community, visit her website here, or better yet, order from her store and enjoy her delicious pies and goodies!
