Unleashing Island Girl Power: Breaking Barriers and Thinking BIG with The Millionaire Summit: ROI

I was recently awarded a scholarship to attend The Millionaire Summit: ROI and here's why. "It's often said that it takes a village," and this is especially true in our entrepreneurial endeavors. Since launching the Girlfriendism Retreat in 2021, I have witnessed the incredible impact on our girlfriend community - from book launches to magazine features and business contracts to speaking engagements. It's not just about networking; it’s about building relationships that motivate and foster our holistic wellness and success while creating a tribe of girlfriends in the process.


As an island girl who has experienced the challenges of pursuing global aspirations, I know how difficult it can be to seek success beyond the shores of a geographically isolated location such as the U.S. Virgin Islands. As a world traveler connecting with girlfriends from other shores, I also know that I'm not the only one who feels this way nor are U.S. territories the only geographies that feel isolated either. Although the Caribbean is rich in talent and potential, too often, our dreams are hindered by geographical limits, colonialism and cultural discrimination. This is one reason that I was inspired to create the Girlfriendism Retreat - an experience designed to empower women to reach beyond their immediate surroundings, embarking on paths of discovery and achievement. As we approach our fifth year anniversary, however, we're shifting our focus, expanding our reach and elevating our approach. Thinking BIG is why I was awarded a scholarship and breaking barriers is why I became an ROI Ambassador! (Keep reading, I'll tell you more about it!).





The Landscape of Entrepreneurship in the Caribbean


The Caribbean is vibrant, filled with culture, creativity, and untapped potential. Yet, many talented women face obstacles that hinder their entrepreneurial journeys. For instance, studies have shown that women entrepreneurs in the Caribbean receive only 12% of available venture capital, which limits their ability to innovate and grow their businesses.

Challenges persist, including limited funding options, insufficient networking opportunities, and systemic biases that overshadow women's contributions. This is where island girls and women in underserved communities, must break barriers and think BIG - hence why I became an ambassador for the Millionaire Summit: ROI: A three-day immersive experience designed for ambitious entrepreneurs, business leaders, and professionals who are ready to scale their businesses, build powerful networks, and achieve life-changing breakthroughs!


I'm not a millionaire (YET!), but within the next two years...ask me! And guess what? I'm taking my girlfriends who want to experience that level of wealth (and more) on the journey with me too! What better way to begin that journey than to be in a room with millionaires who look like you, have shared in similar experiences as you and can identify with you as a woman? Women in the Caribbean and rural areas often feel alone in their journeys but when we share our stories and challenges, we become empowered to chase our dreams and forge our own paths to success. Though I cannot make the summit this year as I'll be hosting a simultaneous private event, I payed it forward and decided to become an ambassador instead so my girlfriends who are ready to elevate with Girlfriendism in 2025, have the launchpad to do so. The Millionaire Summit: ROI serves as an elevated platform to create connections that break barriers, allowing the island girls (by birth, by association and/or at heart!) who are ready to unleash their power to tap into the strength of shared ambition.



Why I Believe in the Millionaire Summit: ROI


Though I cannot attend this year, I wholeheartedly support the mission of the Millionaire Summit: ROI and how it can impact women ready to elevate. From earlier this year, I have been following Rachel Rodgers: Founder of The Millionaire Summit: ROI and Author of the best selling book: We Should All Be Millionaires. I listen to her Hello Seven Podcast almost daily, read her book, completed the workbooks, joined the Hello 7 community, stopped making BAD decisions (aka Broke Ass Decisions) and continue to do ‘all the things’ that I need to do to level up as an entrepreneur and community leader; so becoming an ROI Ambassador feels right and aligned with my goals for Girlfriendism in 2025.


Participating in events like the Millionaire Summit: ROI is vital for personal and professional growth. For island girls with global ambitions, it's about learning from experts, exchanging successes and challenges, and nurturing our collective potential. Last year's attendees reported a 70% increase in their confidence to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors after the event - I want my girlfriends to experience this. Why? Because my girlfriends are going to share that experience with other girlfriends, expand the circle of knowledge and resources and increase our collective potential for wealth that benefits our businesses, families and communities. That's what our girlfriends do! Best part is: In the true energy of Girlfriendism, they even offer a Business Bestie Ticket option that allows you to travel with your business partner and double the trouble for good!
