Women entrepreneurs invited to showcase brands at We Inspire brunch

Women-owned businesses are being invited to showcase their products and services at the We Inspire Women 10th Anniversary Brunch, with organisers offering subsidised exhibition booth spaces as part of the organisation’s continued commitment to supporting female entrepreneurship.

The initiative forms part of the anniversary celebrations for We Inspire Women, which for the past decade has provided networking, mentorship and empowerment opportunities for women across Jamaica.

The exhibition will allow participating entrepreneurs to connect directly with the more than 100 women expected to attend the brunch, including business leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs and corporate executives.

Founder and CEO of We Inspire Women, Cortia Bingham McKenzie, said that for the 10th anniversary of We Inspire Women, she wanted to create tangible opportunities for women in business.

“The Misses Merch Village is about creating a space within our annual brunch event that supports and amplifies women-owned businesses. As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, we wanted to deepen that commitment by making it easier for small businesses to access a room filled with women who value entrepreneurship, collaboration and supporting each other. From the beginning, women empowerment has always been at the heart of the We Inspire Women movement,” Bingham McKenzie said.

Past exhibitor Narda Lawful Simpson, founder and lead make-up artist of Nardanae’ Beauty, said participating in the event was truly valuable, and that she will be back again this year.

“Being an exhibitor at We Inspire last year surpassed my expectations. It was not only rewarding for my business, but it was also inspiring to connect with other women in business and have meaningful conversations,” she said.

Additionally, she is encouraging other female entrepreneurs to take advantage of the opportunity. “This will not only provide you with the opportunity to showcase your business to new customers, but it will also inspire you.”

Booth spaces are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Women entrepreneurs interested in exhibiting can register by sending a WhatsApp message to 876-572-1810. The deadline for registration is August 10.
