She Speaks Power highlights self-made women this International Women’s Day
08 Mar
In honour of International Women’s Day, She Speaks Power, a networking platform by Naga DDB Tribal, launches an Instagram directory spotlighting self-made women.
The directory features female entrepreneurs from Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Terengganu, spanning wellness, fashion, F&B, and even a surf school based in Cherating, Pahang. This diverse lineup of women is aligned with this year’s theme of #InspireInclusion and will continue to be refreshed with more entrepreneurs monthly until the end of the year.
“This year, our focus will be celebrating and championing female entrepreneurship and welcoming everyone interested in learning from the stories & experiences of these entrepreneurs. While our main goal is to create a safe space for self-made women to share and inspire, we also want to invite others to join as an audience and learn from them,” remarked Hajar Yusof, Head of Digital Experience.
Among them is Eunice Wan, a copywriter at Naga DDB Tribal, who turned her passion for nail art into a successful side business in 2023. “As a writer, doing nails on the side started as a tactile hobby, but has turned into something that marries my interest in visual aesthetics and building connections. It has allowed me to connect with people in interesting ways which helps inspire my writing too,” she said.
Beyond featuring entrepreneurs, the platform will offer workshops for non-digitally savvy entrepreneurs and mentoring sessions encouraging cross-learning across different industries in the coming months.
“We believe that it is important to celebrate these entrepreneurs but also educate and equip them to become the best entrepreneurs they can be. We also acknowledge that fostering this appetite for entrepreneurship should begin at home. Hence, we will be organising a series of workshops and fireside chats for our staff to inspire those with a passion outside of work,” said Farrah Harith-McPherson, Chief Growth Officer.
