Financial empowerment strategy for the world's next leaders

We help mission-driven entrepreneurs and immigrants break free from societal barriers through financial, business, mindset, and leadership training so that, together, we can build a more welcoming world. 

About Us

We believe that it’s possible for everyone – no matter their immigration status or family background – to be financially empowered and start an impactful business. 

We’re here to help show you the way, guiding you through the complexities of navigating the financial, legal, business, and tax systems so you can build generational wealth and carry out your purpose.

Our journey has been marked by the challenges immigrants face in the financial system and a combined 12 years of online business entrepreneurship. It has instilled in us practical financial, business, and strategic planning skills  to help you turn the big vision you have for you, your family, and your community into reality.

Together, let’s fight for a more welcoming and inclusive world — one where everyone can overcome any societal barrier in their way and opportunities are accessible for all.

Here at International Empowerment®, our mission is to help immigrants and heart-centered entrepreneurs liberate themselves from societal barriers through financial, business, mindset, and leadership education so that, together, we can build a more welcoming world.
