About us

Vision

Our vision at Women Elevating Women (W.E.W.) is to empower and uplift multicultural women, fostering a close-knit community, guiding their success from a six-figure business to enterprises valued at one million dollars or more. We will achieve this by embracing the proven 5 Pillars of success: Communicate, Cultivate, Courage, Connect, and Collaborate.

Mission

Our mission is to create a nurturing environment that champions multicultural women, granting them influence, access to opportunities, and shared resources. Our efforts aim to provide a secure platform for these women to expand and excel in their businesses locally and globally.

WHY W.E.W.? THE EXPERIENCE

Step into the world of Women Elevating Women (WEW) and unlock your full potential, surrounded by care and support!

The road to a million-dollar business for women entrepreneurs can seem challenging and sometimes daunting. Less than 4% reach that impressive milestone, while the majority, approximately 88%, generate less than $100,000 in annual revenue. But here’s the exciting part: about 8% are hovering around that $100,000 mark, and that’s where the WOW Factor begins, thanks to the caring community of WEW.

At WEW, our deep belief in the immense potential of women-owned businesses fuels our mission to provide you with the loving care and support needed to soar to new heights. We’ve partnered with the Women Presidents Organization (WPO) and adopted their proven “airport model” to create an environment that nurtures growth and collaboration. As one member of the WEW CREW reaches the coveted $1 million milestone, we warmly welcome another, creating a dynamic and thriving community of women entrepreneurs.

When you become a part of WEW, you gain access to a caring network that offers valuable information, insights, and opportunities to guide your business towards that million-dollar mark and beyond. Additionally, you’ll receive a heartfelt invitation to the prestigious annual WPO Entrepreneurial Excellence Forum. We take immense pride in creating the WOW FACTOR, where Women OF WEW truly WIN, all while surrounded by the care and encouragement of your fellow members!

Join us on this journey towards success. We celebrate each other’s achievements and nurture the flames of greatness within one another. Together, we are rewriting the future of women’s entrepreneurship, one remarkable success story at a time, with genuine care at the core of our community. Take a chance and join this incredible and supportive movement.
