It is important that we support our sisters in business, lift each other up and circulate wealth within our communities. To assist this intention, I have created this resource page with an inventory of female-led businesses that we can access and support.
The new model of feminine leadership is not about hierarchies of power but about circles of collaboration. For us to become true leaders, we must embrace our sisters as our allies and give one another permission to shine.
