Testimonials

Tanya Manning-Grant, TMG Professional Services“After some frustrating experiences navigating the local ecosystem for funding, through introductions and advice from Gloria of Get The Bag, I was able to secure funding and a five-figure contract.”

Karen Arrington - Author, Founder-Miss Black USA, Ambassador“Get The Bag has been a champion, buyer and promoter of my book “Your Next Level Life: 7 Rules of Power, Confidence, and Opportunity for Black Women in America” since 2020. It has been featured in several iterations of their business and personal gift boxes and loved by men and women alike! I also have found the resources and information shared with the Get The Bag community to be informative and beneficial to growing my business.”

Anne Richie – Social Capital, Funding Resources & Biz Gifting“The content that I receive as a member of the Get the Bag community has been instrumental in securing $2.2 million in investments for my fund. As a capital practitioner, it is very helpful to have access to additional funding sources from a culturally competent source. Most importantly, the site is so well curated that I can efficiently find relevant, timely information in one place.”

Kim Smith Woodford – Funding Resources & Business GiftingGet the Bag is my trusted source that gets me. As a small Black female owned business GTB provides me with useful news and information and motivation to successfully grind my business in connecting and engaging Black and Brown communities with greenspace and the environment. I look forward to getting my monthly GTB newsletter filled with resources and new funding opportunities to help grow my business. My clients and friends love it when I send them a GTB gift box filled with goodies from female businesses. Thanks for embodying sisterhood with sharing, supporting and lifting Black female entrepreneurs with the work you do!

Radical Reset – Business Gifting"We loved partnering with Get The Bag to provide our Radical Reset grantees (BIPOC women changemakers taking a long weekend to disconnect from their day-to-day to reconnect with self) with a box that enabled them to have an even more meaningful reset experience. Gloria curated a box filled with values-aligned goodies that made our grantees feel extra supported and cared for. We look forward to partnering with her again!" – Radical Reset
