BWIE Pan-Atlantic Project: Idea to Income

Join BLK Women in Excellence (BWIE) for an unforgettable evening of connection, conversation, and community as we bring the Pan-Atlantic Project: Idea to Income to Prince Edward Island in partnership with the Black Entrepreneurship Program and the Black Cultural Society of PEI.

This is not your typical networking event. This evening is designed to bring together Black women entrepreneurs, aspiring business owners, leaders, and community partners to celebrate entrepreneurship, share experiences, and strengthen the ecosystem supporting Black women in business across Atlantic Canada.

The evening will feature an inspiring 4-person panel discussion moderated by Tia Upshaw, Founder & CEO of BLK Women in Excellence, highlighting real conversations around entrepreneurship, leadership, overcoming barriers, building sustainable businesses, and creating opportunities.

We are excited to spotlight our featured business and PEI Key Partner, Solange Aké, recognizing her leadership, impact, and commitment to supporting community growth and entrepreneurship in Prince Edward Island.

Attendees will enjoy:

✨ Meaningful networking opportunities
✨ Powerful panel conversations
✨ Business resources and community connections
✨ Featured Black women entrepreneurs
✨ Food, music, and an empowering atmosphere

Come connect with the people, programs, and resources designed to help you start, scale, and sustain your business.

This evening is about more than networking. It is about building relationships, celebrating excellence, and creating stronger pathways for Black women entrepreneurs across PEI and Atlantic Canada.

Free to attend. Registration required. 💜
