You’ve been connected to this work in some way over the years.
Some of you have started businesses or pivoted in your careers because you participated in Occupy Academy; some have stayed in proximity every year through Occupy Mastermind. Others have stepped back but, you're following me on Instagram or LinkedIn to stay aware of what we’re building.
You know, as well as I do, that right now many women over 35 are navigating significant (and often very unexpected) shifts in their lives, careers and businesses. Jobs are changing; industries are evolving; funding is disappearing; businesses are being forced to adapt.
Many of you who expected stability at this stage of life are making decisions you didn't anticipate.
In response to this, I’ve established the Occupy Economic Resilience Fund.
This is a continuation of the work I’ve led through The Infinity Initiative for the past 20 years; helping women build, pivot and move forward with strength and an ability to make good decisions, even in trying times.
The Occupy Fund supports:
- Resilience grants for business formation, career pivots and strategic upskilling
- Facilitation for Occupy Academy
- Sponsored access to Occupy Mastermind for women who need it
We're building this Fund from March through October, with grants and support distributed in November.
I’m inviting you to give.
You may choose a one-time contribution or a monthly commitment as we build the Occupy Fund over the coming months.

If you know a woman who believes in this work and has the capacity to support it, share this with her.
Hugs & Love,
Sheryl
