HANNIBAL, Mo. \u2014 Emily Trevathan, real estate agent and owner of Twisted Juniper Yoga in Hannibal, left Hannibal as a young adult in search of other opportunities .<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I left, I adventured. But alas, here I am. I came back home,\u201d Trevathan said. \u201cHannibal is a place where dreams can come true. Twisted Juniper started as a little seed half a world away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trevathan described her journey to open Twisted Juniper on Friday afternoon at the Rialto in Hannibal at the first Women in Business lunch, organized by Moberly Area Community College.<\/p>\n

While women enjoyed lunch catered by Java Jive and paid for by local businesses, they listened to six speakers who represented various topics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole purpose of the event is to celebrate, promote and inspire women,\u201d said Wendy Johnson, director at MACC in Hannibal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

McKenzie Disselhorst, director of the Hannibal Chamber of Commerce, said Johnson approached her about doing the event in Hannibal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a great time to celebrate women in business in Hannibal,\u201d Disselhorst said. \u201cWe have some Hannibal students here, and we hope to get them thinking about what it means to them for their futures.\u201d <\/p>\n

Disselhorst said more women are in business and leadership roles now than in the last 11 years at the Chamber of Commerce. They are looking to each other for mentoring and support.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the silver linings of the pandemic is that we realized if we try to do it alone, then we won\u2019t make it through the challenges. We need more support for each other and to show up for each other. I think this is a great way to kick that off and celebrate that,\u201d Disselhorst said.<\/p>\n

Disselhorst was the first of six speakers in the program, which was emceed by Sarah Deien, grant administrator of the Riedel Foundation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Disselhorst spoke about the rich history of Hannibal women.\u00a0She spoke about Margaret Tobin Brown, who Disselhorst said was not only \u201cThe Unsinkable Molly Brown\u201d on the Titanic but also a philanthropist and an activist who fought for women\u2019s rights among several other things.<\/p>\n

She also spoke about Marie Byrum who walked across Hannibal in the rain to vote for a city council election. It was the first election held after the 19th amendment was passed earlier that month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Byrum was the first woman on record to vote right here in Hannibal,\u201d she said. \u201cMore than 100 years after that, and here we are. There has never been a better time to be a woman in business in Hannibal than there is right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
