Today, March 8, 2022, is International Women's Day. And we at Brainz Magazine want to celebrate the fact that women are at the forefront of a new era. By highlighting 7 female entrepreneurs and how they change the world, we hope to inspire other women to dare to take the step into entrepreneurship.
Hanna Hermanson – Done For You Copywriting
Plain and simple: Stay in your zone of genius, and you will change the world, ladies! When women show up fully in their unique brilliance, the whole world becomes a better place. In my company, Done For You Copywriting, we stand by the motto "do what you love, delegate the rest". When hiring, all new team members are asked to complete a few personality tests to highlight exactly where on the team they will thrive and jive the most. With clients, we give them the support (and permission) to get back into their zone of genius- coaching- by taking care of their marketing for them. Because let's be honest: If you're regularly doing things that make you say "I'd rather be at the dentist", it might be time to do a quick exam.
Operating from in your zone of genius (instead of the dentist's office) transforms women, organizations. The results? More joy. Less stress. Massive abundance. And this is what changes the world: happy, empowered women, doing what they love.
The question to ask is: where in my life and business can I allow someone to do this better than me?

Farrah Smith – Coach Farrah
I believe knowledge is a superpower, so one of my intentions in life is to shorten other people’s learning curve by sharing all the wisdom I have acquired as a lifelong student of personal and professional development.
For me, a significant focus is the power of positive thinking because your mindset impacts the amount of confidence and courage you have to follow your dreams. It can be the determining factor for living a deeply fulfilled life. My goal as a writer and coach is to teach people how to get better results in everything they do. I help liberate them from their limiting beliefs and awaken them to their infinite potential. I inspire people to pursue their deepest desires and accomplish more than they ever thought possible. I’m an impact-driven person and relentless in the pursuit of my goals. I always come from a place of service, and I serve people, the planet, and animals. I have spent over a decade working for one of the top ocean conservation organizations globally, and I am a proud member of Former Vice President Al Gore’s Climate Reality Leadership Corps.
I am also a certified life coach for teens. I started coaching teens because I genuinely believe the more confident, compassionate, purpose-driven youth we have in the world, the better place it will be to live.
Whether I am fundraising, writing, speaking, or coaching, I am giving back and inspiring others, which makes me feel like I am living a life of purpose. I know I am living my best life when I am helping others live theirs.

Kawtar El Alaoui – Conscious Togetherness
As entrepreneurs, we have far more ability to impact our world than we realize. We can align our businesses with our values and create structures that make our businesses a vessel for social change.
I stand for a world where everyone can live in dignity and peace. My work supports purpose-driven leaders ranging from executives to social activists, peacebuilders, to entrepreneurs. I guide them to create businesses, conflict transformation strategies, and policies that contribute to peace.
In light of recent events, it’s apparently more than ever that we need to continuously work towards a peaceful world. I am a facilitator with the Business Plan for Peace, a UK-based organization working to create a world without violent conflict under the leadership of three-time Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Dr Scilla Elworthy. I also teach coaching with Leadership That Works India to enable the next wave of coaches to become trauma-informed, culturally appreciative, and equity-centric. Lastly, I am a Leadership Advisor with the Women Entrepreneurship Platform She Did It! Elle a osé! in Canada.
In all these roles, I redefine leadership from the inside out, so we can build our work and communities on the pillars of well-being, inner power, and positive impact. As Founder and CEO of Conscious Togetherness, Inc, I teach the Conscious Togetherness leadership framework which enables Self-Leadership and aligns organizations to be a positive presence.
I invite you to look how you can make your business a vessel for peace, and contribute to a world you would be happy to live in, and proud to leave for future generations.

Belkis Clarke – Belkis Clarke LLC
A young lady once sat across from me sobbing her heart out. She wanted to leave her relationship, but she didn't see the possibility when she looked at her financial situation, and she loved her partner. In the relationship, she felt humiliated, depressed, trapped, empty and sad and knew it was not what she wanted for her life. When I asked what she wanted, her response was to be happy, but when I asked what a happy life looks like, she hesitated, was unsure, and mentioned a few vague ideas. We spent a lot of time defining what happiness would look like for her and determining the steps for getting there. One day, she abruptly left the session, and I thought I'd offended her, but the following day she called and said: "thank you; For the first time in my life, I woke up, and I am happy; I finally know what hope is." That is how I change the world. I help women find the kind of hope that fuels healing, transformation, and the building of a life they do not want to escape from.
I emerged from a childhood marred by traumatic events of sexual abuse, molestation, and suicidal tendencies. As a teenager and into my early twenties, I struggled with the trauma of my experiences and was desperate for something better in life. It was that desperation for better, for learning to break the cycles that kept me repeating painful experiences and healing from emotional pain that led me to the path I have walked for the past twenty years as an international speaker, mentor, and possibility guide.
I speak not only on overcoming and thriving after the trauma but on making better decisions, building resilience, loving ourselves, learning to speak up for ourselves, and building self-confidence. To corporations, I teach on the impact of personal trauma in the workspace and how to reduce the impact, creating workspaces that support mental health and mastering the art of effective communication. I also guide women who have been through or are going through abusive situations to develop a blueprint for life beyond trauma and effectively tell their stories that inspire and promote healing for others. My entrepreneurial journey is focused on teaching others how to turn bad experiences into fuel for a life they deserve.
