We believe women of colour have a unique experience of life and often, our needs, development and abilities are not recognised, catered for or considered. Being women of colour ourselves, we know it first hand.
Daughters of immigrants.
Eldest daughters.
Youngest daughters.
Working class.
First generation.
Second generation.
Diaspora.
We have these multi-layered identities and it’s not always easy to navigate the world around us or make peace with the one within us.
So, as best friends who struggled with this journey ourselves after leaving college and dropping out of university, we decided there might be something we could do. So we started GirlDreamer.
Leadership. Entrepreneurship. Social Change.
Imagine a world where more women of colour are leaders and at the forefront of social change.
That’s what we want to see, so we’re using our own years of experience building GirlDreamer to support you on your own entrepreneurial and social change journeys.
Through a tailor-made programme to kickstart your own ventures to providing micro-funding to those of you who are already on your journey, we’re here to support your leadership journey!
Mental health. Emotional wellbeing.
We’re all about the whole woman here.
Life is more than our professional identities and so we place heavy emphasis on the personal. Here is where we utilise the outdoors to support emotional and mental wellbeing.
From adventure sports, outdoor safety training to workshops and courses, we’re offering opportunities to
re-connect to the outdoors and yourself in the process to maintain a healthy personal routine in life.
EVENTS. SOCIAL.
Community is at the heart of it all.
Our lives are heavily shaped by those around us and so we want you to have a strong sense of community throughout your life journey.
This is why we create community events and gatherings every so often to bring us all together. Whether you join a programme and become a GirlDreamer Alumni or you’re here to simply connect with others, this is the space for those sisterhood, ancestral communal vibes.
From intimate dinners, to mango parties to coffee dates – we want to create meaningful connections with you and for you to make them with your fellow sisters.
