OUR STORY

Girlfriends Who Inspire Change (GWIC), LLC is a cause-driven social enterprise network that provides E-Commerce products and services online to empower the lives of women and girls of All ages. The vision of GWIC is for All women. Still, it was designed with Black women in mind to inspire women to become a better version of themselves and more socially responsible in their communities. 

Equitable wealth opportunities, privilege, and legal protection are central to our social enterprise philosophy. We believe in uplifting ourselves together out of economic restraint and injustice systems. Education, strategic mobilization, wealth creation, policy changes, health, technology, entrepreneurship, leadership development, social evils,  and moral values are all part of the vision.   

The business combines the social impact of a non-profit with a for-profit commercial strategy to make a difference in All people's lives, including Men and marginalized communities. The business concept uses goods and services to address social evils and economic issues. 

We inspire women and girls to be self-sufficient and social change agents. Women and girls must be protected; they are the mother and daughters of civilizations. International groups and sisterhood networks form the basis of our collaborative partnerships, in which a shared interest unites us in economic and social transformation.
