Suga Lifestyle’s Art and Lifestyle Expo Launch held over a week ago highlighted Suga Lifestyle’s GW Art pictured, and our promotion of local businesses and entrepreneurs, with a focus on the Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) sector, showcasing Art, Fashion, Food and Lifestyle.
However, as with most of our Events, another observation was highlighted by our Keynote Speaker, Senator the Honourable, Aubyn Hill. Though a few male vendors were showcased, vendors were predominantly female, also highlighting the critical role of Women and their contribution to the Creative Industry and Commerce, which remains vital to the stimulation of our economy.
We Empower MSMEs, but have to give kudos to and showcase that the the driving force behind the majority of the Businesses we select, happen to be Women. That says a lot in 2023. Is the World Ready?
