Owner
Robin’s Nest in the Pass is celebrating 10 years of business this month. Since opening, owner Dorothy Roberts loves how the store has become a part of the thriving business community in Pass Christian. “It feels great when people say visiting the Nest was on their bucket list!” Roberts says. “It really affirms that people enjoy our store and beautiful coastal community.”
Roberts loves celebrating the creative spirit through offering distinctive artisan made jewelry, local art, accessories, and gifts for all occasions to shoppers.
Her advice to other women looking to get into business? “Learn about the business you are interested in opening,” she advises. “Challenges and obstacles are going to occur, so create a team of folks who have skill sets you don’t
have to help you navigate through difficult times and who will celebrate your accomplishments.”

Owner/Operator
As Owner/Operator of Alpha-Lit, one of the most rewarding aspects of Beth Wilson’s work is the opportunity to meet people and be a part of their celebrations. “Whether it’s a wedding, a milestone birthday, a corporate event, or any special occasion, being involved in these significant moments is truly fulfilling,” she says.
The driving force behind her career and her greatest inspiration are her children. “Their presence in my life has been the primary motivator for everything I do and has shaped my approach to my work,” Wilson says. “From the moment they entered my life, my children have given me a profound sense of purpose.”
One of the most impactful moments in her career was winning the One Coast Award as a Top 10 Leader of the Gulf Coast.
Outside of operating Alpha-Lit, Wilson is employed by the Gulfport School District as their public relations coordinator and career pathways specialist. She has been in
education for over 20 years.
