Women Who Create is the only mentorship program for women of color, built by women of color. Our mission is to break down systemic barriers through mentorship to uplift, inspire, and empower creative women of color.

In the last four years:

We’ve hosted over 1,300 women of color in our mentorship program across the nation
We've awarded $20,000 in grants to students and entrepreneurs of color who are making a difference in their community
We've created a creative women of color hiring database with over 1,000 women at all experience levels
We've hosted dozens of events that facilitate knowledge and connection

This year we will be releasing a mentor matchmaking web experience and we need help to continue building the site for launch! We believe creating connection is so important and we can't wait to make this tool available for everyone to use. But it's not cheap. :D We are an all volunteer-led organization and we depend on the kindness of our donors and sponsors to help us fund the cost of business expenses.

UPDATE: It is launched! Check our Charisa here: www.womenwhocreate.org/charisa

Additionally, with funding we can help remove systemic barriers that hold woc back in the workplace by:

Providing more woc with opportunities to strengthen negotiation skills and get the opportunities they desire
Facilitating connections that can lead to internship and job opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t be privy to
Hosting workshops/events that empower woc and give them the confidence to fight harder and dream bigger
Crushing the “broken rung” and helping get more woc from entry level to management positions with guidance and support
Keep woc in the industry longer so we can increase the number of woc in C-Suite positions from 3%
