About Us
She Steps Forward International is a faith-based, non-denominational nonprofit that helps small businesses, ministries, and nonprofits within the United States and Africa. By empowering and equipping everyday women to fulfill their God-given destinies through entrepreneurial ventures, we believe communities will be positively impacted.
We focus on providing strategic leadership training and organizational development that reflects Biblical values to women who are building entrepreneurial ventures and desire faith-based coaching services to help them achieve their goals.
We want every woman to fully maximize her gifting from God and to reach her highest potential when attempting to improve the community around her through entrepreneurship.
Therefore, we strive to provide opportunities for women to grow in their faith, their leadership abilities, and their business skills by offering access to:
- Annual Conferences in the U.S. & Africa
- An Online Membership Community
- A Bi-Annual Cohort Group Coaching Program
- A Seed Money Grant Program
We also strongly believe in the power of “paying it forward.” Once success is achieved, we encourage our community members to give back to other women who are new to our programs.
In addition, we invest in local and international outreach programs that support American and African women in their personal and professional growth as well as women-led organizations that advance the well being of their communities.
Special Thanks to Our Business/Corporate Partners!

Female entrepreneurship is continuing to rise around the world!
According to the World Economic Forum:
• “The number of female entrepreneurs is increasing around the world, but many women continue to face significant obstacles to starting their own businesses.”
• In the United States, “women started 49% of new businesses” in 2021.
• In the UK, “women are now running almost 40% of UK microbusinesses.”
• In the developing world, “between 8-10 million small and medium-sized enterprises …have at least one female owner.”
