All eyes are on our Business Services Manager, Erica Gibbs—this year’s Side Hustle Honors “Leap of Faith” award winner. A dynamic event planner and proud St. Louis native, Erica is making bold moves from STL to Chicago and beyond.
Whether she’s crafting unforgettable experiences or championing fellow entrepreneurs, Erica embodies grace, hustle, and vision in all she does. Her success story is pure inspiration: balancing elegance under pressure with relentless grit behind the scenes, she transformed her leap of faith into a thriving business. She didn’t wait for a seat at the table—she built the table herself, set it with purpose, and invited the entire city to join the celebration.
Congratulations, Erica!
