THE STORY EXCHANGE

Mission Statement

The Story Exchange is a nonprofit media organization dedicated to telling the personal and professional stories of women business owners -- and to exploring the role of entrepreneurship in advancing women’s economic independence. We showcase the often-overlooked entrepreneurial women around the world who are contributing to their communities and collectively making an impact on the global economy. We aim to provide role models and inspiration to women who are pursuing their entrepreneurial dreams. We know that economic power gives women power in all areas life. Financial independence gives women self-respect and self-confidence, and the courage to stand up for their needs and those of their families and communities. Indeed for many women, purpose and social value are as central to business "success" as growth and profit. We aim to examine women’s underappreciated role as forces for economic and social good.
