About Midwest Mujeres
Midwest Mujeres (Midwest Women) is a mentorship collective for multicultural women entrepreneurs. We educate Latinas and Black women on storytelling, networking, mentoring, and marketing. We empower women to build their businesses to close the wage gap for all women.
Our members gain exclusive coaching calls and mentoring to help them reach their dreams. In our community cohorts, we work with organizations to empower Latinas to free their voice in community event planning and invite them to participate in our annual event, "Yo Quiero Dinero!"
We create a culture of belonging for everyone who wants to celebrate equity, unity, and empowerment for women.
