Meet Antoinette Fisher of AZ Black Womens Expo

Today we’d like to introduce you to Antoinette Fisher.

Antoinette, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
I started hosting events in 2009 (Phoenix Fashion 4 A Cause) a fashion show to raise awareness in various health issues. (Breast Cancer, Lupus, Autism and HIV/AIDS) 2019 we hosted our 8th year in hosting this fashionable event.

I also host a fashion show called Love Sick that raises awareness in women empowerment. With the funds raised go towards my nonprofit She Is She Project which we teach youth entrepreneurship and girl empowerment. We have hosted the Love Sick fashion show for five years.

I have also started hosting the AZ Black Women’s Expo. An event is to provide women of color the perfect opportunity to shine and get their services and products out there in the market. This Upcoming August will be our 3rd year.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Success is never a smooth road. I am learning every day.
