One year ago, I had the opportunity to meet Bo Griffin when we covered her as one of our very first Trailblazers. If nothing else, Bo was full of energy and the second you spoke with her you had to smile. She forced it—drew it out of you without you even realizing.
We talked about her ventures, of course, but seeing her in action was a completely different thing. A photoshoot at her store was intermingled with her care for her customers. A few times she’d jump out of frame to help a young girl looking for a wedding dress. She was constantly laughing, smiling, talking—drawing you in to a world that she found amusing, lovely, and bright. But deep down, Bo was an entrepreneur. An innovator. A brilliant mind with brilliant ideas. A magnetic personality with the know-how to back it all up. In a word—amazing.
Today, I am torn more than I might be for any other interview. Bo, without even knowing it, was an encouragement to me, as a woman from a small town who made it big. What she wanted, she didn’t just get—she made happen. From radio personality to game show host to dress designer and probably many other titles known only to those closest to her—Bo Griffin was an example to every woman (and every man, for that matter) who wants something but can’t figure out how it needs to happen. She was proof positive that anything can be done, and that success can come in many forms.
The Upstate business world has profited greatly from this woman, and she will be greatly missed.
