“The core of Blo’s mission is to uplift and enhance the lives of those in our community – but this extends to our franchisees as well,” shared Yakobson. “We aspire to have everyone who walks through our doors feel valued and empowered with what we call our pink carpet treatment. Through this event, we hope to inspire women in the Houston area and beyond to build their own successful future.”
