Launched in 2017, The KNOW Book + Tribe started as a way to bring more attention to dynamic women doing remarkable things in the Phoenix metro. We knew there were an outstanding number of women impacting the community and making big strides in their industries. Our goal was to get those women from behind their computer screens and into the public eye. Thus, we created the KNOW Book, a carefully curated publication that would feature vision-led women in a glamorous and authentic style.

As the momentum grew and we recognized the need for more, we launched our Tribe around the women featured in our KNOW Book. Our mix & mingles soon ensued and we witnessed incredible things happening. We saw our women doing business with each other, creating friendships, supporting each other, collaborating on projects together and so much more.

What started as a fun project to spotlight women, has turned into a full-blown movement. The KNOW Book + Tribe has expanded beyond its birthplace of Phoenix, Arizona and its aim is to launch in every major city across the United States and Canada.

And There’s More.

Our creator, Sarah Benken has opened the Tribe to include all women business owners and leaders in need of more: more community, more authentic relationships, more connection, really just plain more. Now, regardless of the phase of business or career level, you can join our Tribe and become aligned with our mission to uplift and support other women.
