The Bahamas is rich in diverse talent and natural resources that should be leveraged to create more profitable and sustainable micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) within the Creative Industry.
The Women Entrepreneurs Initiative was designed to help women throughout The Bahamas overcome the challenges of accessing capital, feeling respected as business owners and building an effective support system.
The Bahamas is also regarded the fattest country in the Caribbean and the sixth fattest country in the world. With overweight and obesity cases on the rise, among all age groups, we need Fitness and Wellness entrepreneurs to leap into action.
