Virginia Littlejohn, Partnering for Impact: Advancing Women Entrepreneurship at CSW68

Great. Well, you heard Vishani ask us, will you join us? We, the W20 Women Entrepreneurs Act, are very excited about joining WEA and the export program. I would also like to acknowledge Anne Simmons Benton and Anne Ravagnola. First of all, I wanted to tell you this is just really an incredible honor for W20 and for Women Entrepreneurs Act. We had a 3-hour meeting on Monday just after, after they got off the plane with the chair of W20 Brazil and the head of delegation for W20 Brazil. And we mapped out 7 areas of cooperation for now and more to come. Thank you. So we will be working on elevating the women's entrepreneurship ecosystem, helping craft women entrepreneurial policy frameworks, expanding women entrepreneurial access to finance. And boy, is this an important one. And Ravanona is our investment queen over here.

It's such an honor to be here today. Good morning, everyone, with so inspiring women, especially this one here, expertise Thank you so much, expertise. Thank you so much. I'm here to celebrate the W20 in Brazil. And we— there is a working group about entrepreneurship. And we are working a lot to include all women, especially the Black women, the indigenous women in Brazil. And we are so happy to see all this work here happening in the United States. Thank you so much for your attention.

And, Weia, thank you for asking us to join you!
