Voice. Influence. Legacy.

The Women’s Forum Series brings women together across generations, professions, and borders to share experiences, challenge assumptions, build relationships, and explore what they can accomplish together.

Why We Gather

Every woman carries a story shaped by the spaces she has entered, the barriers she has faced, and the possibilities she has imagined.

Some have spent years leading. Others are finding their voices. All have something to contribute.

The Women’s Forum Series creates room for those experiences to meet—not simply to celebrate what women have achieved, but to explore what becomes possible when they listen, learn, and work together.

OUR BEGINNING

2022 March

How it Began

In 2022, during a conversation with , I proposed creating a platform where women across generations and international borders could come together annually to inspire, motivate, and empower young girls and women. She said, “Yes, let’s do it.”

My initial focus was on the women of Brand YOUth Global, but I soon widened the aperture, recognizing that what we were envisioning was far greater than our membership.

That year, during International Women’s History Month, the BYG Women’s Forum Series was born.

Relationships formed. Ideas emerged. Networks expanded. A community began to take shape.

Today, we continue the work by deepening engagements that are anchored across the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The Conversation Continued

In 2026, the series entered a new chapter, bringing women together in person at the University of Guyana and through international virtual conversations.

Different women. Different experiences. A continuing conversation.

BEYOND THE FORUMS

What Continues Beyond the Room

What begins when women gather should not be measured by the hours they spend together, but by what they carry forward.

A conversation that changes a perspective. A connection that opens a door. An idea that finds the courage to become something more.

And somewhere beyond the room, another woman discovers a possibility she had not imagined for herself.

That is the legacy we hope to build.

“Because meaningful relationships should not end when the event ends.”
