Collaborative workspace for women in business opens
Brook Centre addresses the unique challenges women face in the workplace
Cranbrook is now home to a creative and dynamic work space specifically designed to support and celebrate women in business, working mothers, and female entrepreneurs.
Danielle Cardozo and Jody Jacob, co-owners of Brook PR, are thrilled to announce the opening of Brook Centre, a collaborative co-working environment acknowledging the unique challenges women face in the workplace, and finding creative and empowering solutions to them.
Women with offices in Brook Centre are single. Or married. They have children. Or don’t. They wear what they want, how they want it, when they want to. Some of the women shake what their momma gave them, while others don’t let their milkshakes bring any boys to the yard.
“The Brook Centre is a place of originality, collaboration and innovation,” said Jacob. “It’s a place that encourages women to support one another, and celebrate each other’s success. It’s where ambitious women go to get business done. Like a boss.”
Brook Centre bosses and businesses include:
Jody Jacob and Danielle Cardozo, Brook PR
Livia Lara, Cranbrook Farmer’s Market
Allissa Keane, Fruition Wellness
Kya Dubois, Soul of the Boreal Tattoos & Art Studio
Donna Hartt, The Mountain Medium.
“We come from all walks of life, and have different skills, talents and passions — but share a powerful commonality,” Cardozo said. “We are women in business, who love to work, and work hard.”
In order to support the needs of working moms, Brook Centre features a room where children can entertain themselves for an hour or two, if necessary. The ‘Wild Child’ space is filled with toys and books, bean bag chairs, and a TV with movies. Because when you’re a woman in business and a mother, you know it’s only a matter of time before the two priorities collide, and the juggling begins.
There is also a workout space to support women’s mental and physical health.
And what would a female power workspace be if it didn’t include a place to unwind, decompress, breath and re-focus? Brook Centre has that.
“The room may or may not be stocked with red wine and chocolate,” laughed Jacob. “That’s for Brook Centre bosses to know, and you – if you’re lucky – to find out.”
Brook Centre is located at 19-9th Ave. S., Cranbrook.
