    Our officially proclaimed day is November 19 celebrated around the world! Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO)/#ChooseWOMEN is 501c3 all-volunteer grassroots movement that carries throughout the year in support of women in business globally. WEDO ignites women leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to initiate startups, drive economic expansion, and advance communities worldwide. WEDO is celebrated in 144 countries and 65 universities/ colleges internationally! The WED mission is to empower the 4 billion women worldwide to be catalysts for change and uplift over 250 million girls living in poverty worldwide. When women are elevated financially, families, communities, states, and countries prosper, this builds a global blueprint that will alleviate and eradicate poverty.

    #ChooseWOMEN
    WEDO launched #ChooseWOMEN this campaign to be the greatest impact for women in business to proclaim the Wednesday after Thanksgiving to be dedicated to WOMEN! In partnership with Bartle Bogle Hegarty this will be a grassroots social media movement inspiring women and men to pledge their support to #ChooseWOMEN in business.

    About Wendy Diamond
    Diamond is an Impact Investor, Entrepreneur, Humanitarian, Founder of Animal Fair Media and an Ellis Island Honor Society recipient. She was inspired to launch Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO)/#ChooseWOMEN in 2013 after volunteering in Honduras with the Adelante Foundation, an organization that provides microcredit to locally impoverished women. Recognizing the fact that women perform 66% of the world’s work, yet only earn 10% of the world’s income and at the same time, women account for 85% of consumer purchases and control $20 trillion in worldwide spending, Diamond was inspired to create this simplified movement in the world to empower women in business to alleviate poverty.
