This is a special episode because we recorded this during the culminating activity of the Live Lokal initiative.
Live Lokal aims to empower local micro, small, and medium businesses, with particular focus on women-led enterprises that promote locally sourced and crafted products by providing access to market, talent, and new technologies for women entrepreneurs to thrive in the new normal to ensure business continuity and sustainability in the long term. Special thanks to Live Lokal project members: Thermina Ann Akram, Jhanette Co, and Edna Mendoza for this episode.
The culminating activity featured three (3) inspiring women entrepreneurs and fellow Australia alumnae to share their stories in a live panel discussion. They share the origin stories of their respective businesses, the challenges wrought by the pandemic and how they turned their businesses around, and insights and words of wisdom to aspiring entrepreneurs.
