Women’s Empowerment
Partnership with CWS
BYG’s First Event
“What began as one evening became a lasting legacy of empowerment.”
The Origin
A Historic Beginning
Founded by Selwyn Collins, Brand YOUth launched its first women’s empowerment event in partnership with Conversations With Selwyn (CWS). The event honored Ms. Anije Lambert — a 40 Under 40 honoree — alongside outstanding women from CWS’s acclaimed web series Guyanese Youth in Business and Guyanese Youth in Review.
International transformational coach Ms. Sherry Ann Dixon headlined the evening, inspiring attendees with powerful lessons on shattering glass ceilings, building intergenerational success, and creating purpose-driven leadership.

THE BYG EXCHANGE
- Amplifying Guyanese women’s achievements at a time they were underrepresented on public platforms
- Connecting established and emerging leaders across generations — not as a one-off, but as a foundation
- Challenging the equality gap head-on: women as essential architects of Guyana’s future, not afterthoughts
- Proving that one room, one evening, and one shared purpose could change the trajectory of a movement
“Equality isn’t women’s issue — it’s Guyana’s competitive advantage.”
