The Wyoming Council for Women is pleased to announce Bria Hammock as the recipient of the 2026 Jan Torres Woman Entrepreneur of the Year award.

Based in Cheyenne, Hammock is a creative leader and artist with over 25 years of experience in graphic design and marketing. She is the founder and owner of three distinct local enterprises: Westward, Go Slo, and Hammock Fine Art.

A decade ago, Hammock pioneered the state’s lifestyle apparel market by launching Go Slo, an e-commerce brand specializing in authentic, Wyoming-inspired clothing for women. Her entrepreneurial success has since expanded into the fine arts, where her contemporary interpretations of Western wildlife and landscapes have earned regional acclaim.

Please join us in recognizing Bria Hammock for her outstanding contributions to Wyoming’s business and creative communities!

At the Wyoming Council for Women, we know that Wyoming women are incredibly strong and resilient. But true strength doesn't mean carrying it all on your own.

It is okay to not be okay, and it is always okay to ask for support. Whether you are balancing work, family, or just the daily hustle of life, your mental well-being matters. Taking care of yourself is the first step in being there for the people you love.

If you or a woman in your life is going through a tough time, please remember that reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let's check in on one another this month and make mental health a priority!
