Entrepreneurs with Hope Program – A Day of Empowerment and Inspiration

On December 6, 2024, I was deeply honored to be part of the Entrepreneurs with Hope Program, launched through Chosen Hands and supported by IOM UN Migration. Speaking alongside the incredible Valmiki Maharaj, Kirk Langton, Asha Lovelace, Ingrid Jahra, and Shenelle Fife, with the thoughtful moderation of Shanice Webb, was both humbling and inspiring.

Our panel discussions were designed to spark thought-provoking conversations and provide valuable guidance to an audience of aspiring entrepreneurs. Sharing personal stories, insights, and advice was particularly meaningful, with questions that touched on critical aspects of the entrepreneurial journey.

Hearing the diverse experiences and perspectives of my fellow panelists and engaging with the audience’s thoughtful questions was truly enriching. Together, we explored the power of resilience, creativity, and community support in building sustainable ventures.

A heartfelt thank you to Anika Plowden-Corentin and the entire Chosen Hands Project Team for spearheading this impactful event. Let’s continue to create lasting change and inspire the next wave of entrepreneurs to lead with vision, courage, and hope.
