The minority of Haitian women in the Business industry underscores a need for recruitment. Thus, through our foundation, we are an outreach apparatus, aimed at challenging that deficit.  Through our Scholarship Foundation, promising young women of Haitian descent can realize their dreams in pursuing an accelerated education in Business. The foundation includes raising funds to provide scholarships to female students currently at Florida A&M University and female adolescents in the Miami-Dade, Broward or West Palm Beach County Public High Schools.

 

Our mission is to empower female adolescents and young women of Haitian descent by providing mentoring opportunities between them and women in the professional sector, while significantly increasing the number of Haitian women in the areas of: International Business, Business Administration, Business Management, Accounting, Marketing, Finance and Entrepreneurship.
