SHREVEPORT, La.–It’s officially March, which means it’s now National Women’s History Month. It’s a time to highlight some local women who are courageous throughout our community. Two of those courageous women are Donna Phillips and Abigail Satterthwaite. The mother daughter duo are the owners of Absolutely Abigail’s.

While many people are usually enamored by the store’s appearance, some are not aware of the powerful story about how the store came to be. Phillips says, it all began 23 years ago. Her daughter, Satterthwaite, was struggling with drug addiction and was ordered by the courts to find a job.
