Unlocking, Upgrading and Thriving…

The Emerge Women's Entrepreneurship Program is a comprehensive initiative designed to uplift and empower women from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Through a carefully crafted curriculum, this program aims to equip participants with the necessary tools and knowledge to thrive as entrepreneurs.

Recognizing the barriers that women often face in accessing business education and financial resources, Emerge provides a supportive environment where women can develop their entrepreneurial skills, build confidence, and achieve financial independence.

Women entrepreneurs are among the greatest untapped force for economic growth and innovation.

Black and Minority women often find themselves navigating industries that are saturated, characterized by narrow profit margins and intense competition, making long-term viability challenging.

In the wake of the pandemic, the urgency to close the entrepreneurship gender gap and become more inclusive is imperative now more than ever.

We need new and innovative solutions from diverse voices to address challenges we haven’t yet conceived.
