Our Mission
It all started over coffee (and cakes, lots of cakes). Women Who Win is a leading nonprofit media platform, with a mission to amplify voices of diverse women of all races, cultures, and backgrounds.
A submission-based platform, we enable women with opportunities to share the stories that make them who they are today. We emphasize positive and genuine storytelling in each interview we share. Our platform has featured the unique stories of hundreds women to date, including entrepreneurs, technologists, artists, community activists, senior executives, young professionals, healthcare providers, nonprofit leaders, and more. We hope that our stories inspire you, and ignite conversations on diversity, inclusion, and equity. We believe the most powerful tool for building a community is story-telling, and we encourage you to share your story with us.
In order to create a community of “women who win”, we provide the community with unique development opportunities: this includes our mentorship matching program, collaborations with local organizations, forums to share their expertise in our webinars and workshops, and our quarterly networking events [i.e. aptly known as “Coffee Cakes, and Contributors” bringing us back to our roots!]
Women Who Win is a free and accessible platform, and is a minority women-owned 501(c) 3 nonprofit company headquartered in Boston, MA.
