ina Howard, owner of a local bookstore, can be spotted watering the several plants inside her store, and when she overhears a customer indecisive about the nearly 50 tea choices her business offers, Tina looks up after dousing her aloe vera plants and recommends her favorites. Sometimes she will even pair it with a book, like wine and cheese. Tina and her husband, Todd, run the laid-back Leaves Book and Tea Shop in Fort Worth’s Near Southside and says that as a woman in business, her success and her embracing her empowerment were from knowing how to tap into her strengths — pushing into them without second-guessing herself or shying away from those qualities. Tina also leans on other local business owners — women who have built and owned cafés, for encouragement through coffee meetups and group texts. “We meet up together and collaborate on a regular basis, and during the electrical shortages, we helped each other out as much as possible,” Tina says.
