VB Living’s Women-Owned Business Issue celebrates the women entrepreneurs, creators, and community leaders helping shape Virginia Beach. Inside, you’ll discover inspiring local businesses, personal stories, and the women building brands that make our city feel connected, creative, and community-driven.
Why This Issue Matters



This issue was created to spotlight the women behind some of Virginia Beach’s most impactful local businesses. From storefronts and service providers to creatives and founders, these women are building more than businesses — they’re helping shape the culture and community of our city.
Through storytelling, local partnerships, and community connections, VB Living is proud to create platforms that help local businesses be seen, supported, and celebrated.
Coming Soon
We’re excited to announce that this issue is just the beginning.
VB Living is currently building a dedicated Women-Owned Business Directory designed to make it easier for the community to discover, support, and connect with hundreds of incredible women entrepreneurs across Coastal Virginia.
Our goal is to create more than just a list of businesses. We’re building a platform that highlights the people behind the brands while giving local women-owned businesses greater visibility, stronger community connections, and ongoing exposure beyond a single magazine issue.
From local boutiques and restaurants to wellness professionals, creatives, service providers, and growing brands, the directory will serve as a go-to resource for supporting the women helping shape our local community.
We believe local businesses grow stronger when the community knows who’s behind them, and we’re proud to continue creating spaces that help those connections happen.
Stay tuned for the official launch.
