Celebrating Women in Business
International Women’s Day is a moment to celebrate progress, but also to reflect on the challenges women still face in business. As the founder of The Original Black Garlic, I’ve experienced these challenges firsthand while growing a brand in an industry that has traditionally been male dominated.
Food entrepreneurship, like many sectors, has often lacked female representation in leadership roles. But that is changing. Women-led businesses are driving innovation, sustainability, and positive change. At The Original Black Garlic, we’re proud to be an all-woman team, and our shared dedication, expertise, and passion have been key to our success.
The Power of Female Leadership
Women bring different strengths to business. A focus on collaboration, attention to detail, and a willingness to challenge the status quo often leads to stronger products, better relationships, and businesses that prioritise quality over shortcuts.
That said, the journey isn’t always easy. Women still face barriers when it comes to accessing funding, breaking into established networks, and balancing business with other responsibilities. This is why mentorship and visibility are so important. When women support each other, we create new opportunities and inspire the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
Advice for Women Entrepreneurs
For women looking to start or grow their own business, my biggest advice is:
Trust your instincts. If you believe in your idea, keep pushing forward, even if others don’t see the vision yet.
Build a strong network. Surround yourself with mentors and like-minded people who will support and challenge you.
Be resilient. There will be obstacles, but adaptability and determination will set you apart.
Looking Ahead
International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate progress, but also a reminder of the work still to be done. The more we elevate women’s voices in business, the more we create an industry that is diverse, innovative, and built for the future.
At The Original Black Garlic, we’re committed to championing women in business, supporting sustainability, and proving that a female-led company can thrive on the global stage.
Here’s to breaking barriers, challenging norms, and shaping the future together.
