Empower Her: Women in Wealth & Entrepreneurship
Coast Restaurant Vancouver, BC
Held on September 17th at Coast Restaurant, Empower Her: Women in Wealth & Entrepreneurship was an inspiring evening celebrating women who are redefining leadership, innovation, and financial success. The event brought together an incredible community of female professionals and entrepreneurs for meaningful conversations on growth, resilience, and empowerment.
The evening featured a captivating fireside chat with Miriam Alden, Founder & Creative Director of Brunette the Label; Elly Seddon, Founder & CEO of Bulletproof Cosmetics; and Cherry Yang, CEO of Claribase. Each shared candid insights into their entrepreneurial journeys – offering honest reflections on the challenges they faced, the lessons they learned, and the defining moments that led them to the successes they have today.
A highlight of the evening came from Jaime Ethier, District Vice President at Fidelity Investments, who shared compelling research showing that 59% of women surveyed make all or most of their household’s financial decisions, alongside a significant rise in women-owned businesses. Jaime also shed light on the unique challenges faced by women entrepreneurs, including limited access to capital, gender biases in funding, and the complexities of balancing business and personal responsibilities. She emphasized the importance of having an advisor who can provide tailored financial strategies, risk management, and long-term growth planning.
As a wrap up for the event, we extend our sincere gratitude to Miriam, Elly and Cherry for sharing their stories with honesty and authenticity, Jaime for an insightful presentation, and to all attendees for contributing their energy and enthusiasm to an unforgettable evening of connection and inspiration.
