A while ago, I was a part of a shocking realization that led me to creating this movement you are reading about today.

I was a part of a fellowship program in the US, called World Chicago, where I met 380 leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers from all around the World. In one part of the program, we had a conference where I found myself at a round table with 12 more Women, discussing the situation for Fempreneurs around the World. I started listening to the stories Women are dealing with on the other parts of the World and I was devastated. The LIMITATIONS, the EXCLUSION, the LACK of FUNDING and TRAININGS… I wanted to know more.

I contacted all the Fempreneurs that were at that conference to meet with me to get a deeper understanding of their situation. There was a group of 4 African Fempreneurs that I will never forget who started telling me their stories. From how they don’t have any organization in their area they could rely on to limited access to knowledge and no funding available simply because they are Women.

I felt the urge to help them. I asked them to write letters, so I could apply for some funding to cover the costs of the coaching program for them.

But then I got some unexpected feedback. Not only did the women that were part of the fellowship program write back and share their support and personal stories, but they also engaged other Fempreneurs from their local surroundings to do the same. So I found myself not with 4 letters asking for help, but with 15.

So now we come to you, reading this story. We have everything. EVERYTHING. A computer, internet, support, funding… available just with a click or one ride away. Some don’t have these privileges, and cannot get them on their own.

This movement was created for those that are less privileged. Fempreneurs from all around the World who have the passion, but don’t have the right support– those of us that understand what they need have a duty to do our best to provide them with the tools that will help them survive, feed their kids, share their passion, help their communities and make the world a stronger place.

From a Passionate Fempreneur who works hard to understand their situation and to provide the support and knowledge they need, to survive, to feed their kids, to share their passion, to help the community.
