56. International Women's Day As a Solopreneur: How to Make an Impact from Behind the Screen

REPRESENTED with Annie Gichuru

It’s International Women’s Day on 8th March. The hashtags are trending. The corporate brunches are happening. The cupcakes have been ordered. But let’s be honest, does any of this actually change anything?

As a solopreneur, I don’t have an office to walk into where HR is running an IWD event. I don’t get the morning tea, the networking panels, or the LinkedIn posts from my CEO. And if you’re anything like me, you might be wondering…

"What does IWD even mean for someone like me? And if it is still relevant, how can I actually contribute in a way that matters?"

That’s exactly what we’re discussing in today’s episode.

We’re diving into:

✅ What IWD was originally created for and whether it still holds that same meaning.
✅ How patriarchy still shapes our experiences as women, even in online business.
✅ The real progress that has been made because yes, things have changed.
✅ And most importantly, how we, as solopreneurs can actually push the needle forward.

And if you’re a parent or caregiver, I’m sharing a powerful activity you can do with your kids to help them understand the true impact of IWD and why it’s bigger than a single day.

So whether you’re working behind a screen, running your business from a regional town, or navigating the challenges of being an entrepreneur this conversation is for you.
