Advice for Women Entrepreneurs:

To young women venturing into entrepreneurship: remain true to your essence. The stories of female CEOs taught Erika Guerrero the importance of embracing her identity rather than conforming to traditional, male-dominated roles. Being unapologetically female is not just a stance but a strength. Our world doesn't just need leaders; it needs female leaders who are authentic, resilient, and willing to pave the way for future generations by simply being themselves.
