Women Entrepreneurship Initiative
Episode 3
Ignite Change this Women’s Day
As we gear up for International Women’s Day 2026, we’re embracing the theme "Accelerate Action"—a call to supercharge progress toward gender equality. It’s time to turn dreams into reality, to shatter barriers, and to amplify the voices and visions of Bahamian women who dare to lead.
Did you know? At the current pace, it could take until 2158 to achieve full gender equality. That’s five generations too many. We can’t wait that long—and we don’t have to. By supporting women entrepreneurs today, we’re accelerating the change we want to see tomorrow.
The 2nd Annual Women Entrepreneurship Episode Grant Initiative, powered by The Fox Foundation, isn’t just about funding businesses. It’s about fueling fearless innovation, brave leadership, and audacious ideas in industries where women are ready to make waves—like AI, green energy, niche e-commerce, and beyond.
This is your moment to step up, stand out, and lead the charge. We’re looking for bold Bahamian women with the grit and vision to carve new paths and redefine what's possible. Whether you’re creating sustainable solutions, revolutionizing healthcare, or bringing fresh perspectives to cultural industries, we want to hear from you.
