#SheDIDIT has been on a mission since 2018 to create an inclusive space for diverse womenpreneurs. We’re a Belgium-based non-profit focused on womenpreneurs from diverse cultural backgrounds. Through business coaching, and access to workshops and networking events, our members join a community of powerhouses. As an inclusive incubator supporting female founders, we’re working toward a space where diversity meets womenpreneurship.

More of a backstory. You might be wondering: why the focus on women from diverse cultural backgrounds? As an entrepreneur herself, our founder Lien saw how women of color (WoC) had less access to the traditional playfield for entrepreneurs. The talent wasn’t lacking, nor their motivation, yet WoC had limited access to coaching, networking, knowledge, or entrepreneurial organizations.

When we started in 2018, we focused on ‘the image of an entrepreneur’ through the power of storytelling. By sharing stories and role models, we quickly grew our community. Through challenging the status quo, we aspired to create more seats at the traditional table, but it wasn’t big enough. We made our own, and seats will never run out.

Today we offer coaching programs, spaces, and workshops to support and guide womenpreneurs in their journey. We tackle the (un)known barriers and work on achieving goals; we focus on business and personal growth. Diversity is seen as a strength, not a threshold. Why not use tools and motivations from different perspectives/cultures to strengthen your belief as an entrepreneur? Even though we focus on a niche audience, that doesn’t mean that other women are automatically eliminated; everyone is welcome if they align with our mission: where diversity meets womenpreneurs.
