Queen B 2026 Celebrates Local Women Entrepreneurs!

On June 15, 2026, Beaver Valley LaunchBox celebrated the incredible women entrepreneurs who are building businesses, strengthening communities, and making an impact across the Beaver Valley at Queen B 2026.

The evening brought together entrepreneurs, community leaders, and supporters for a lively networking event and panel discussion featuring nine inspiring Beaver Valley women entrepreneurs: Ayanna Anderson of Ayanna Beauty and Business Academy; Amy McDermott and Brooke Larney of BED Sleepwear; Kelly Burgos Harper, Independent Communications Consultant & Voice Coach; Brenda L. Cutshall of B’Poppin; Mallori Diamond of BoxSTRONG LLC; Erica Loftus of Nala Marketing; Mana Mehdi of Darling Events; Kaye Price of Kaye’s MacALectibles; and Robin Redfern of Bags & Blessings.

Each Queen brought a unique entrepreneurial story—from beauty education and luxury fashion to fitness, marketing, events, food, communications, and community service.

Stephanie Menor served as emcee for the evening, hosted on Penn State Beaver’s campus. Penn State Regional Chancellor Carey McDougall moderated the panel discussion, leading the Queens through an engaging conversation about entrepreneurship, overcoming challenges, finding success, and giving back to the community.

Guests enjoyed delicious gourmet food catered by The Market at Bridge Street, along with free games and prizes that kept the evening fun and interactive. And, perhaps most importantly, there were plenty of business cards exchanged, introductions made, and meaningful connections formed throughout the night.

Queen B is more than an event—it is a celebration of the women who are helping shape the future of Beaver County small business and entrepreneurship. Beaver Valley LaunchBox is proud to provide opportunities for local entrepreneurs to connect, learn, grow, and support one another.
