In this brief monologue, Shanli Liu, CPA, CTP advises women entrepreneurs to drop the label "female entrepreneur" and simply identify as "entrepreneur." She argues that emphasizing gender reinforces the very distinction they aim to overcome, offering no practical benefit. By comparing it to other irrelevant descriptors (e.g., brunette, tall, Persian), she underscores that gender is unnecessary information and that true empowerment comes from being recognized for entrepreneurial merit alone.

The best piece of advice I have to female entrepreneurs: stop calling yourself a female entrepreneur. I know you're trying to empower women, but by trying to empower women, you're reinforcing the cultural norm that you're trying to distinguish. If you were such a great entrepreneur, why not just call yourself an entrepreneur? I don't call myself a brunette entrepreneur, a tall entrepreneur, Persian entrepreneur. Why does it matter that I'm a female? How is that going to help someone? How's it going to change who I am or what I'm doing? It's irrelevant information. You don't need to provide it. Call yourself an entrepreneur.
