Meet Catherine.

Women’s History Month is wrapping up, and even though we celebrate the awesome women in our community year round, we didn’t want the month to pass without taking a moment to thank Catherine, one of Fireball’s fearless leaders.

Catherine has committed her life to making art more accessible. For her, Fireball is not just a business — it’s a way to give artists the tools they need to share their voices and their creations with the world.

An artist herself, Catherine loves photography and design, and she also manages many aspects of our business. She even custom built Fireball’s database and workflow system and takes all the photos for this very blog.

Recently, Catherine got Fireball certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s leading third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women.

The WBENC Certification process has confirmed that our business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and has the appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place.

By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs, which in turn empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced and sustainable economy.

Fireball also holds WOSB certification, which is the federal women-owned small business program.

Thanks, Catherine, for being so rad. Fireball wouldn’t be the same (or exist) without all you do.
