Welcome to REPRESENTED, the podcast.
This is your weekly dose of inspiration that’ll support you to build a racially inclusive online business without letting the fear of getting it wrong get in the way. These episodes will provide insights, strategies, and discussions that break down barriers and empower you to navigate the racial equity landscape.
I’m Annie Gichuru, your host as well as a Racial Equity Coach who supports online business owners such as coaches, course creators, membership owners and group program facilitators. It’s my calling in nature and ability to break-down complex and often uncomfortable conversations around race that has seen me teach over 100 online business owners to be more racially inclusive through my online program REPRESENTED.
Be sure to subscribe, rate and review so this podcast can reach more online business owners and begin to not only normalise racial inclusion in the online coaching space but see us actively shift our perspectives.

56. International Women's Day As a Solopreneur: How to Make an Impact from Behind the Screen
It’s International Women’s Day on 8th March. The hashtags are trending. The corporate brunches are happening. The cupcakes have been ordered. But let’s be honest, does any of this actually change anything?
As a solopreneur, I don’t have an office to walk into where HR is running an IWD event. I don’t get the morning tea, the networking panels, or the LinkedIn posts from my CEO. And if you’re anything like me, you might be wondering…
"What does IWD even mean for someone like me? And if it is still relevant, how can I actually contribute in a way that matters?"
That’s exactly what we’re discussing in today’s episode.
We’re diving into:
✅ What IWD was originally created for and whether it still holds that same meaning.
✅ How patriarchy still shapes our experiences as women, even in online business.
✅ The real progress that has been made because yes, things have changed.
✅ And most importantly, how we, as solopreneurs can actually push the needle forward.
And if you’re a parent or caregiver, I’m sharing a powerful activity you can do with your kids to help them understand the true impact of IWD and why it’s bigger than a single day.
So whether you’re working behind a screen, running your business from a regional town, or navigating the challenges of being an entrepreneur this conversation is for you.
