In 2013, as a young entrepreneur, Abigail Loncke started her business which unfortunately flopped.

“I didn’t have the experience, I didn’t have the space to grow, I had no mentors and my first company failed,” Loncke candidly told Stabroek News yesterday on the sidelines of her third women’s empowerment conference held at the Arthur Chung Convention Centre, Liliendaal.

“I had to start over,” she added and start over she did but the 2016 Young Leaders of the Americas Initiative (YLAI) participant did not just want to do it for herself but for other women as well.
