Cherie Blair pledges to work with local women entrepreneurs

Cherie Blair speaking at the event last evening

Founder of an international women’s empowerment non-profit organisation, Cherie Blair, last evening said it will continue to work across the country, even as she challenged Guyanese women to not allow setbacks to deter them in pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams.

“As you venture into the world of entrepreneurship, stay true to your vision and don’t be afraid to dream big. Learn from your setbacks… adapt, keep moving forward,” she urged in her address to graduands of the 2023  Road to Growth business training programme, an initiative her eponymously-named organisation has been running here since 2021.

The event was held at the Marriott Hotel in Kingston, Georgetown, with the Cherie Blair founder, Guyana’s First Lady Arya Ali, and British High Commissioner Jane Miller as speakers.
