In partnership with Bartle Bogle Hegarty this will be a grassroots social media movement inspiring women and men to pledge their support to #ChooseWOMEN in business. About Wendy Diamond Diamond is an Impact Investor, Entrepreneur, Humanitarian, Founder of Animal Fair Media and an Ellis Island Honor Society recipient. She was inspired to launch Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Organization (WEDO)/#ChooseWOMEN in 2013 after volunteering in Honduras with the Adelante Foundation, an organization that provides microcredit to locally impoverished women. Recognizing the fact that women perform 66% of the world’s work, yet only earn 10% of the world’s income and at the same time, women account for 85% of consumer purchases and control $20 trillion in worldwide spending, Diamond was inspired to create this simplified movement in the world to empower women in business to alleviate poverty.
