 Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Ryan Coleman. I'm the Director of Economic Development for the City of Columbia, and we're excited that you've joined us today to welcome Haven & Company, and it's an honor to be here to celebrate Harley Newsom and her new business right here at 1801 Jervais Street. You know, this year has been a really great year. It's been phenomenal to be able to work with so many new businesses over the past year, and we're really excited to be able to continue that trend today with Haven. As many of you know, the City of Columbia is a very entrepreneurial, friendly city. We have a mayor who's an entrepreneur. We have a city council that's incredibly supportive of new businesses and small businesses, and Columbia is truly a city that is of the entrepreneurs, by the entrepreneurs, and for the entrepreneurs. And the City of Columbia is proud to support you in your future growth, development, and success here at Haven & Company. So thank you very much for being a part of our local business community. With that, it's my honor to turn the microphone over to the honorable Mayor Daniel Rickman. Mayor? Well, good morning, everybody. Another exciting day in Columbia, South Carolina as we continue to open up businesses, and I think this is probably more special than a lot of businesses, because once again we're opening and going to be supporting a women-owned business in Columbia, South Carolina. And Ms. Newsom, thank you so much for taking the chance. I know that you have a new child at home and you're grasping everything, but that shows the tenacity of the folks here in Columbia, South Carolina who aren't afraid to take a chance and do something and balance it. And with this support of all your family behind us shows us how important it is to support these type of local businesses. And we're excited about Haven & Co. Especially when you think about it, here you are in the University neighborhood, and your address is 1801. No coincidence that the university started in 1801. So we hope that you have as long ajevity as the university had. We're excited to support you and your family and your new venture, having four stalls here to start off with the option to really bring that up to six and take advantage of this beautiful crossroad here in the center of our community on Jervais Street to start your business. I know this is probably the first of many businesses that you and your husband, Wes, will open up, because I can tell y'all have got the spirit and the fire. So congratulations. What a surreal feeling it is to be standing up here today. I started my hair career over six years ago, and today I'm opening the doors to my dream salon. This couldn't have happened without my army. Thank you, all of you guys. Thank you to my family and friends for supporting me throughout this entire process. Thank you to my clients, because none of this could have happened or been possible without your continued support and loyalty. Thank you to my husband, parents, siblings, and family. You know who you are. Thank you for all the daily hard work you have put in behind the scenes to help make my vision a reality. And the ultimate thank you goes to the good Lord. You truly made this possible. He has taught me to fall into his arms and trust that this path is what he had paid for me. In August of 2021, we opened EQ Fitness and Physical Therapy, and shortly later, we welcomed our first born woods. This past February, we welcomed our second born crew, and now we are opening my dream salon, Haven. Today, April 10th, my dreams of being my own boss and opening my own salon have come true. Haven is here, and we are here to revolutionize the salon experience in Columbia. And always remember, life might not be perfect, but your hair can be. Thank you.
