EmpowHER: Creating Digital Pathways to Funding and Cultivating Community for Women Entrepreneurs

”EmpowHER: Creating Digital Pathways to Funding and Cultivating Community for Women Entrepreneurs” embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic world of women entrepreneurship, deciphering the intricate dynamics that influence their journey to success. With a focus on fostering gender diversity and promoting innovation, this thesis delves into the profound impact of accessible funding mechanisms and community engagement on women entrepreneurs’ trajectories while in the growth stage of their business. As women-owned enterprises continue to rise, this project dissects their economic potential and explores how innovative practices can dismantle the barriers that hinder their progress. By employing various research methods such as content analysis, visual analysis, and case studies, the project unearths valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities that define the landscape of women entrepreneurship. The examination of website aesthetics, content, and functionality, coupled with case studies, illuminates the ways in which initiatives are launched and sustained to empower women entrepreneurs. This thesis examines the realms of semiotics and iconography, unveiling how visual symbols and branding resonate with broader cultural narratives. The analysis of funding platforms, both conventional and innovative, unearths avenues for enhancing women’s access to capital, fostering resilience in the face of gender biases. The research places a significant emphasis on women entrepreneurship, which includes the entrepreneurial endeavors of women in various aspects of business. It involves women taking the initiative to start, manage, and grow businesses while addressing the unique challenges and opportunities they face as females. The study also explores the idea of feminism, a socio-political and cultural movement that advocates for gender equality, with a specific focus on women’s rights and opportunities. In the context of this research, feminism underscores the empowerment and advocacy required to eliminate gender-based disparities and biases, particularly in the entrepreneurial sphere. Gender diversity, on the other hand, is a central theme, emphasizing the importance of creating an environment where women, along with individuals of diverse gender identities, are actively encouraged and supported in their entrepreneurial pursuits. Such efforts contribute to a more inclusive and diverse business landscape. The project delves into various aspects of women entrepreneurship, especially for those in the 35-55-year age range who are navigating the growth stage of their businesses. It examines how mentorship, role models, and community engagement form a holistic support system for women entrepreneurs. The study investigates the impact of both online and offline networks in shaping a supportive ecosystem that nurtures aspirations and helps entrepreneurs navigate the challenges they face. Furthermore, it delves into the intricate connection between gender, motherhood, and entrepreneurship, highlighting the unique challenges and opportunities encountered by women who juggle multiple roles. Ultimately, this project envisions a future where women’s access to funding and opportunities is equitable, and community support is available both digitally and in person

Latin America and the construction of a hegemonic periodization.

Underlying institutional factors and a type of periodization in the most influential narratives of global history contribute to the peripheralization of Latin America. The objective of this article is to learn more precisely what is being written about Latin America in two leading journals that study this continent as their main topic. I have chosen five periods and four historical events. Even though the periodization is constructed by events linked to the trajectory of the West, it offers an opportunity to situate Latin America as a key actor in a new global history.Underlying institutional factors and a type of periodization in the most influential narratives of global history contribute to the peripheralization of Latin America.

Through Other I\u27s: Las Otras

The “I” speaks in each of the poems presented; but whose I? The collection explores the use of personae, and gives voice to “the other” I’s/las otras, women who came before us and those who walk among us. Sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish, sometimes the voices cross between languages. Written primarily in free verse, the poems are ordered to allow the mingling of languages from the speakers on the page. Through other eyes, some of the characters revive the past, speak from the grave. They provide a glimpse into what lies beyond the “I.” We hear the women, their advice, their reflections, their stories. In taking on the different personae, the poet relinquishes her voice. However, some I’s leave us guessing as to who is speaking, and how much has the poet intertwined of her own voice
