OUR STORY

Girlfriends Who Inspire Change (GWIC), LLC is a cause-driven social enterprise network that sells e-commerce products and services online. The GWIC business model combines the social effect of a non-profit organization with a for-profit commercial model. The business model uses goods and services to address economic inequality and social transformation. Product sales and services help to support our existence, mission, and viability. GWIC vision is for all women and girls. Yet, it was created with Black women in mind to encourage, teach, and develop an entrepreneurial ecosystem to help improve themselves. 

To work toward bettering the lives of everyone, especially underrepresented communities, and to be more productive within society. We support women in becoming societal change agents in leadership, wealth building, compassion, dependability, courage, and other moral values. International organizations and sisterhood networks serve as the cornerstone of our cooperative.
