#BeTheDrum: A Calling to Entrepreneurs

In the late fall of 2019, NWAC created a program for Indigenous Women Entrepreneurs called #BeTheDrum.

For most Indigenous Peoples, the sound of the drum stirs up a sense of belonging, 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 existing and prospective entrepreneurs to come alive with determination, strengthened through the support of peer mentorship and navigation.

One of the perks of becoming a member of the #BeTheDrum program and directory is that each month #BeTheDrum Navigators select one of our entrepreneurs who has grown with the program to be our entrepreneur of the month. We then create a graphic poster to promote our entrepreneur. They can provide a biography and story about their business and how we have helped them navigate their entrepreneurial journey.

Check out our social media channels to see our past entrepreneurs of the month! Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @bethedrumnwac.
