Grounded in rigorous research and lived experiences, BWEE creates space for knowledge exchange, mentorship, and collaborative solutions that move Black women entrepreneurs from survival-driven practices to sustainable, growth-oriented strategies.\n \nThe event will feature distinguished scholars and practitioners whose work spans business, culture, and media, offering interdisciplinary perspectives on enterprise development, capital access, and transnational economic power. Participants will gain valuable insights, connect with a global network of entrepreneurs and thought leaders, and engage in meaningful conversations that bridge research and practice.\n \nWe warmly encourage faculty, students, researchers, practitioners, and community members to attend and be part of this important dialogue. Whether you are directly involved in entrepreneurship or interested in equity, economic development, and global diasporic connections, this event offers a unique and impactful learning experience.\n \nThis event is in partnership with the School of Women in Leadership & Business.\n \nPlease contact the Convenors if you have any questions: misibor@yorku.ca ( mailto:misibor@yorku.ca ) and adjoufan@yorku.ca ( mailto:adjoufan@yorku.ca ).\n
