Meet the 7 Young Women Entrepreneurs Heading to Vision to Velocity
This weekend, seven (7) young women entrepreneurs from Girls of Impact T&T will be attending the Vision to Velocity entrepreneurship conference.
Through the generous support of our sponsors, these young women have been given the opportunity to access a space designed to inspire, equip, and connect emerging entrepreneurs.
At Girls of Impact, we believe that access to opportunity should be accompanied by visibility. As these young women prepare to step into this experience, we are proud to spotlight their businesses and the work they are building.
