From Ukraine and Venezuela to the World: Refugee Stories of Entrepreneurship and Resilience

Inspiration can be found in the most unlikely and seemingly hopeless situations.

‍

On 18 August, we celebrated hope and boundless creativity with a hybrid run of Freshly Squeezed: From Ukraine and Venezuela to the World: Refugee Stories of Entrepreneurship and Resilience. Aline, Marianela and Sophia shared generously — stories of their past, how they overcame challenges and their aspirations for the future.

The meaningful conversation reminded us about some timeless lessons:

💪 We have it in us: crisis often reveals resilience, creativity and power of the human spirit.

🫂 Move from "Why Me" to "What Now": find the grit to create something good out of a situation

🤝 There is power in community: lifting each other up is an everyday affair.
