Message from Co-chairs
As we reflect on the past year, we are filled with pride for the resilience and dedication demonstrated by our community. The gradual return to in-person programming has been a beacon of hope, allowing us to reconnect and support one another in meaningful ways. The graduation of the 2022/23 Moms4Moms fellows was a particularly touching moment, celebrating the incredible journeys of these mothers who have shown remarkable strength and commitment to their personal and professional growth.
Our 2023 Thought Leadership piece, “Mpowered Love: Women Empowerment Stories,” encapsulates the essence of our mission. By sharing the inspiring narratives of mothers and entrepreneurs, we aim to illuminate the power of love and empowerment. These stories remind us of the profound impact mothers have in nurturing not only their families but also their communities.
Looking forward, we are excited to embrace the theme of “Love & Momentum” in 2024. Together, we will continue to build a supportive environment where mothers can thrive, contribute, and inspire future generations. Thank you for being an integral part of this journey.

Message from Executive Director
This past year has been transformative for Hong Kong Momtrepreneurs as we navigated the challenges of COVID-19 and emerged with renewed vigor. Our 2022/23 Moms4Moms Fellowship Program marked a triumphant return to in-person learning, where our fellows engaged deeply in a curriculum designed to empower them as entrepreneurs. The graduation ceremony was a testament to their hard work and resilience, filled with emotional moments and inspiring presentations.
The launch of our Thought Leadership piece, “Mpowered Love: Women Empowerment Stories,” reflects our commitment to amplifying the voices of mothers who are making a difference. By sharing these powerful stories, we hope to motivate other mothers and foster a culture of empowerment within our community.
As we embark on the 2023/24 year themed “Love & Momentum,” our focus will remain on supporting mothers in their journey back to the workforce. We are excited to enhance our programming and strengthen our alumni network, ensuring that every mother has the resources and encouragement to thrive. Thank you for your unwavering support as we continue this important mission together.

專題報告
愛賦最⼤權⼒-⼥性賦權故事
當我們的團隊為 2022/23 年度選擇「愛賦最⼤ 權⼒」這 主題時，我們的⽬標是創造 個更 具賦權意義的環境，以幫助我們應對 COVID 帶來的挑戰。正如俗話所說：「凡殺不死我 的，必使我更強⼤。」賦權已成為⺟親們的推 動⼒，使她們能夠成為最好的⾃⼰，並在家 庭、社區和鄰⾥中傳播愛。
在今年的專題報告中，我們採⽤了全新的⽅ 法，突顯了名⼈、成功⼥性企業家和⺟親的賦 權故事。從鍾麗淇對⽀持罹患罕⾒疾病兒童的 ⽗⺟的奉獻，到艾利雅繼承她⺟親幫助年輕⺟ 親的遺志；從李穎旋在扶持兒⼦⽅⾯的堅韌， 到楊明珠創⽴的初創企業，幫助阿姨們製作中 式甜點，我們⾃豪地分享這些感⼈⾄深的故 事。我們希望能夠照亮⺟親的賦權及其對周圍 ⼈的影響。
Thought
Leadership Mpowered Love - Women Empowerment Stories
When our team chose the theme “Mpowered Love” for the 2022/23 year, we aimed to create a more empowering environment to help us navigate the challenges of COVID. As the saying goes, “What doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” Empowerment has become the driving force for mothers, enabling them to be their best selves and spread love within their families, neighborhoods, and communities.
In this year’s Thought Leadership piece, we adopted a fresh approach by highlighting the empowerment stories of celebrities, successful female entrepreneurs, and mothers. From Margaret’s dedication to supporting parents of children with rare diseases to Alia’s commitment to continuing her mother’s legacy of helping young mothers; from Alice’s resilience in uplifting her son to Celeste’s startup that empowers aunties in creating Chinese desserts, we are proud to share these heartfelt stories. Our hope is to shine a light on the empowerment of mothers and the impact they have on those around them.
