Celebrating Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Today, we honor the remarkable women who inspire us, shape our journeys, and break barriers. In the words of Vernā Myers: "I can’t talk about my success without mentioning my mom." Her mom, born in 1930, faced limitations on opportunities, yet she was a true trailblazer—graduating from Morgan College and dedicating her life to education. She instilled values of love, discipline, hard work, and justice—foundations that paved the way for Verna’s own success. This story is a powerful reminder that every trailblazer inspires the next generation. It’s through their resilience and sacrifices that we are empowered to build a more equitable future for women everywhere. Let’s take a moment to celebrate the women in our lives who have paved the way for us—mothers, mentors, colleagues, and friends. Share your own story or tag a woman who inspires you! Together, we can amplify their impact and continue their legacy. #WomensEntrepreneurshipDay #EmpowerWomen #Trailblazers #WomenInBusiness #Leadership
