#BeTheDrum: Your Business, Our Focus

Since 2012, NWAC has hosted several Aboriginal Women’s Business Entrepreneur Network conferences designed to build the skills of Indigenous women entering the sphere of business, management, and entrepreneurship. Among the requests from past participants was one for ongoing support in the form of peer mentoring and navigation. #BeTheDrum was born!

For most Indigenous people, the sound of the drum stirs up a sense of belonging and a feeling of great joy in knowing that we are all connected in a way that gives us hope and keeps us strong. The drum signifies a calling to unite us in a place of healing, strength, and momentum toward greatness.

#BeTheDrum is a calling to existing and budding entrepreneurs. Through the support of peers, who provide mentorship and navigation guidance, Indigenous women entrepreneurs thrive. Our network of support is especially helpful when navigating through a global pandemic, where businesses confront new challenges.

Through workshops, one-on-one navigational support, peer support circles, and networking events, #BeTheDrum has proven its success in helping and supporting Indigenous women entrepreneurs. For more information, email us at bethdrum@nwac.ca or phone us at 1-833-652-139.
