Meet the Mentors

Maggie and her mentor Deborah

Keep an eye out for our new Meet the Mentors page coming soon! Empowered Women International appreciates all of our volunteer mentors and their impact on the success of our Entrepreneur Training for Success students! Mentors volunteer to work one-on-one with current students in our ETS program by meeting in person, speaking over the phone, and corresponding through email. Mentors are an integral part of our ETS program and create lasting impacts on the lives of our students.

Success Story: Paulette

In March, ETS graduate and Entrepreneur in Residence, Paulette Mpouma was featured on WAMU’s  Metro Connection. Paulette was interviewed about her Africa Memory Game – a great way to test your knowledge and learn more about Africa! She was inspired to create the board game in order to teach her children more about Africa and where she was from.
