Summit Spotlights Feminist Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs got a unique chance to connect with role models,
mentors, and peers at the Feminist Business Summit hosted by
the Foundation in November 2023 in Winnipeg. The majority
of the entrepreneurs, speakers, and facilitators attending the
event identified as Indigenous, Black, or racialized, and they
represented a diverse range of businesses. Discussions and
activities focused on strengthening connections and knowledge
to empower these diverse feminist business leaders.
