McKenzie Cunningham: National Women's History Month Spotlight

by Melanie Griffin March 18, 2020

Now, more than ever, female-owned businesses need our help. So, in honor of National Women's History Month, and to shine a light on female Trail Blazers to support during this time, we're highlighting woman entrepreneurs who inspire us. Today’s positive inspiration is none other than McKenzie Cunningham!

McKenzie is the Founder of SurSHE, a female empowerment company that provides women with a dose of encouragement, spark of empowerment, and sprinkle of "I get you" delivered to your doorstep in each of its beautifully curated seasonal subscription boxes. Carefully tailored to women’s lives and interests, the boxes, that can be sent once as a gift or quarterly as a subscription are presently available in Goddess, Momma and Southern themes. Packed full of delightful surprises collectively worth over $125, every single product is 100% made by a woman-owned business. That’s right - SurSHE is the first-ever subscription box company exclusively featuring products made by female entrepreneurs.

SurSHE’s commitment to helping women grow transcends the products in its boxes. SurSHE believes that one woman cannot succeed until all women have the opportunity to succeed. To make that belief a reality, SurSHE donates 10% of its profits from each box to a deserving woman or cause. The best part? Like its boxes, the beneficiary of its kindness changes seasonally. To nominate a person or cause for selection as SurSHE’s beneficiary, visit SurSHE’s website and tell your nominee’s story.

Beyond SurSHE, McKenzie’s passion for serving women in her community is positively infectious. A featured KNOW Women member, McKenzie frequently shares about her growing business as a guru podcast guest, including rocking the Sell or Die Podcast on its Woman Crush Wednesday and Jenny Melrose’s Influence Entrepreneurs. It’s no wonder then that in December 2019, SurSHE received national recognition on Medium.com’s hotlist as one of the best subscription boxes of the year. How incredible is that?!

For all of these reasons and so many more, we couldn’t let Women’s History Month pass without inspiring the Spread Your Sunshine community by sharing McKenzie’s story. Keep shining brightly, McKenzie; you’re truly amazing!!
