Why MCBL is the Perfect Hub for Women Leaders, Entrepreneurs, and Our Community ✨ At the Patsy T. Mink Center for Business & Leadership (MCBL), we are dedicated to empowering women as entrepreneurs and leaders in their communities. As Hawai‘i’s only Women’s Business Center, MCBL is committed to fostering leadership through tailored programs and resources that build confidence, sharpen skills, and inspire action. We offer one-on-one business counseling, dynamic workshops, and leadership programs like the Patsy T. Mink Leadership Alliance. These programs focus on helping women grow their influence, hone their strategic thinking, and become impactful leaders across all sectors. We believe that by equipping women with the right tools and mentorship, we can create stronger businesses, thriving communities, and a better future for Hawai‘i. Whether you're launching a business or stepping into leadership roles, MCBL offers a space to learn, grow, and lead. Rooted in aloha 🌺, we nurture every woman’s potential and work together to create lasting, positive change. 💡 Want to learn more?

Our team had a fantastic time sign waving for the Aloha United Way 2024 Workplace Giving Campaign Kickoff & Rally! The streets of Downtown Honolulu were filled with nonprofits that work hard every day for a better Hawai'i. We are so proud to represent our persimmon and look forward to next year! If you’d like to donate a portion of your workplace giving to our mission of eliminating racism and empowering women, please follow this link: https://lnkd.in/gWgHDaaa 🧡🧡🧡 #nonprofit #hawaii #alohaunitedway #downtownhonolulu #give #support #womensupportingwomen #smallbusiness

We are so proud of both Ayshialyn and our DFS Honolulu program in their contributions toward our continual goal of empowering women. 🧡

A working lunch took on a different meaning today! I had the opportunity to join Bank of Hawaii at the Empower Hour: I am Beautiful (fall fundraiser). At this lunch, sponsored by YWCA O'ahu, we heard about the organization's mission, programs, and of course the life-changing impact their work has on advancing women in the community. We were moved to tears, as we heard the harrowing stories from Brandy Cajudoy of Cajudoy Construction LLC and Katie Wilson of West Maui Sports & Fishing Supply. Both shared the impact the devastating wildfires in August had on their businesses; they encouraged us all to remember Maui and support the community wherever possible. #MauiStrong We also learned about The Bella Project joining forces with the Y, which will be exciting to see the extensive positive impact through the many high school women in Hawaii receive new prom dresses and accessories (free of charge) to promote self-confidence, individual beauty, and diversity.
