This is how women entrepreneurs change the system — by building their own.
A side event of the fourth session of the United Nations permanent forum on people of African descent.
Economic Power Reimagined: Creating Pathways for Black Women Entrepreneurs
April 15, 2025 | 10:00AM - 11:30 AM | REYNA New York
11 E 13th Street New York, NY 10003
As global systems shift, Black women risk being pushed even further to the margins. This official United Nations side event brings together leaders from Africa, the Caribbean, and North America to confront economic exclusion and deliver bold solutions.
From access to capital to inclusive innovation, we are building economic pathways that position Black women not at the edge; but at the center of global recovery and growth.
