Impact Story
What if every young woman had a network of experienced, accomplished, and deeply invested mentors guiding her journey? I’ve been blessed to witness the transformative power of such relationships firsthand—realizing that motherhood isn’t limited to biology but extends to nurturing potential. This revelation led me to a pressing question: Why isn’t this the reality for all women?
Five years ago, inspired by the founder's biological mother, spiritual mentors, and Maya Angelou’s timeless wisdom, Mothers to Daughters (M2D) was born. Rooted in generational insights, wisdom-driven leadership, and legacy-building principles, we created a space where accomplished women (“Mothers”) and aspiring young women (“Daughters”) could forge authentic, life-changing connections. I believed—and still do—in the power of women to create, nurture, and transform, fueled by shared experiences, genuine bonds, and the collective strength of intergenerational mentorship.
Over the past two years, our intergenerational mentorship program has crystallized a core truth: Entrepreneurship is the vehicle for women’s economic liberation. We are committed to empowering women aged 18–39 through entrepreneurship, creating ripples of opportunity, financial freedom, and generational change.
This is more than a dream—it’s a demand for action. Bold innovation fuels us, and we are committed to:
Investing in the future of women,
Championing intergenerational mentorship,
Building a world where every woman can thrive.
Ultimately, we are on a mission to launch 100,000 women- and youth-led businesses by 2035.
