Happy International Women's Day!! ❤️

Dear ,

Happy International Womens Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible achievements of women worldwide and reflect on the theme of Empowering Change Globally. This year, as we acknowledge the progress made, we must also recognize the ongoing struggles for equality and justice faced by women of all backgrounds. International Womens Day is a reminder to amplify the voices of those who have been marginalized and to advocate for a more inclusive and equitable world.

In light of this, I want to share a sobering fact: women are still receiving less than 2% of venture capital funding. This statistic highlights the barriers that female founders continue to face in accessing the resources they need to succeed.

So, how can we support female entrepreneurs? One impactful way is to buy or use their products. Every purchase contributes to their success and helps to level the playing field. However, if youre on a budget, there are still ways to show your support. You can help spread the word about their businesses on social media, or simply tell your friends and family about them.Here are some wonderful female owned businesses who make products I personally enjoy:

Amazi Foods: dried fruit from an equitable supply chain
Lil Bucks: Granola made from buckwheat
BTR Nation: Low sugar bars + chocolate
Mylk Labs: oatmeal cups
Curie: Natural deodorant

Together, lets #breakthestigma and uplift women founders. By supporting their businesses, we can create a more equitable and inclusive economy for all. Happy International Womens Day!

Lauren Chew, Founder & CEO
