Wonder Women’s Month

By Maria Isabel Cales

We have a lot to celebrate this year as Friends of Puerto Rico continues to work for the economic development of women and girls on the island. We also took the time to acknowledge the successes of Puerto Rican leaders. 

The importance of celebrating women is beyond just one month. It is imperative that we recognize the people who perform 66% of the world’s work, produce 50% of the food, own the decision-making power within their households and such. 

Women’s economic empowerment boosts productivity. That is why a few weeks ago, Friends of Puerto Rico had the opportunity to interview women leaders and entrepreneurs. 

We spoke with Anette Ruiz, owner and founder of ComunicArte. Small business focused on offering communication coaching. 🎙❤️

A chat focused on Entrepreneurship & effective Communication that you should not miss.

How to achieve your goals and not give up in the process? Here is the answer. Brew some #CafeAmaLove, take paper and pencil ✏️ to write down all the tips and recommendations that @_ivelisseramirez and @mariacales_ discussed on this IG Live to celebrate women.

The experience of talking to them and getting to know their story is simply an inspiration. We feel honored to be picked by these women and proud to see their success everyday. 

We are grateful for our women led team for their commitment to impact communities on our beautiful island. 

Our AMIGAS program has served since 2015 as a response to those women entrepreneurs who need a hand that guides and raises them to their highest potential. Friends of Puerto Rico is proud today, tomorrow, and always to be able to empower and help entrepreneurs.
