“I needed support, community, someone to reach their hand down and pull me up. And now I'm always reaching my hand down to pull someone else up.”


Mary Seats is the founder of The Icing Agency and The Bakery CoWork, a co-working space designed for women entrepreneurs. From a young age, Mary showcased her entrepreneurial spirit by selling handmade Barbie clothes to all of her friends.

She is dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs, fostering community, and breaking barriers for minority women in business.
