SARATTA MURPHY - eCOMMERCE BUSINESS.
Founder: SaRatta Speaks | Instagram
Suffolk, VA
Hey lady! I am an eCommerce business owner who has grown a multi-six-figure product business over the past 11 years. I have taken my first-hand knowledge and packaged it for consumption by other product small business owners to teach them how to create profit in their eCommerce business. I consider myself a marketing strategist who uses proven techniques to grow product-based businesses.
I'm a wife, dog mom, empowerment speaker, and entrepreneur. I'm originally from Texas but currently reside in Suffolk, VA with my husband, Yusef, and my fur baby, Prada. I'm deeply passionate about inspiring women, and I've channeled that passion into two women-focused small businesses: SaRatta Speaks and expressions bracelets.
expressions bracelets (eb) is an online, hand-crafted jewelry and accessories company that specializes in helping you tell your unique story. My products have been featured in numerous blogs, magazine articles, podcasts, and television interviews. You can find them on my main website, Shop Essence, Amazon Handmade, Etsy, and in over 150 retailers across the country.
My speaking company, SaRatta Speaks, serves as an online resource for women who are building small businesses. I share real-life experiences, tested strategies, and tactics to help other women pursue their entrepreneurial dreams by teaching them how to THINK, PLAN, OWN, and ACT like a CEO in both their business and personal lives.
My life is a balancing act—managing the daily operations of two small businesses, designing new products, and traveling across the country as a motivational speaker and business workshop facilitator for various corporate clients. To keep me inspired and motivated, I turn to faith and daily devotionals. I'm an enthusiast of life with contagious zest, engaging in hobbies such as blogging, spoken word, mural hunting, and traveling. I fearlessly walk in my purpose and remain grateful for the lessons that each new day brings.

Chicago, IL
Hey lady! I am a lady boss who juggles being a wife and newborn and toddler mommy with owning three small businesses and managing multiple brands. In 2008, I started L' Shanell + Co, which is a full-service event management and marketing agency specializing in event planning, marketing strategy, consulting and corporate gifting nationwide for corporations and small businesses. I also produce fashion productions and host networking and educational events for entrepreneurs.
I’m a certified meeting professional with 18+ years of experience in corporate meetings and events, marketing and project management across a variety of industries. I've planned and managed hundreds of national and international corporate events and meetings including executive strategy meetings, client events, industry trade shows, sporting events, sales meetings, conferences and brand events.
I'm the founder of Lady Boss Round Table, which is a professional network for women entrepreneurs who don’t want to feel alone in their business. We educate, connect and empower passionate entrepreneurs so they can utilize their full potential to grow businesses that change lives and communities. Our signature events are designed to foster impactful conversations, develop powerful connections, spark new business ideas and create transformative collaborations.
I started my Etsy shop, L' Shanell Party Boutique, in 2013 as a hobby selling shirts, seating charts and baked goods. When I added custom confetti poppers in 2016, my shop became a micro business until I took a break in 2018. In March 2020 I had about 200 sales. In June, I decided to introduce digital products, which has taken my businesses to the next level. I quadrupled my revenue in 6 months! After "cracking the code," I now have over 5100 sales with a 5,000% YOY revenue increase. In 2021, I started another Etsy shop, Culture Boss, which is a lifestyle apparel brand for leaders who stand up for the people and for the culture. I created a sister brand, Educated Culture Boss, and both brands have been so successful that I recently created a Shopify store.
