International Women’s Day, which takes place annually on 8^th March, celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The day also emphasises a call to action for accelerating women’s equality.

To mark International Women’s Day 2025, St Albans City Centre BID asked female business owners in the BID area to share their experiences and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Marina De Sclavis, Business Owner, Chaos City Comics :

“Starting a business is like planting a seed, nurtured with all your passion, and soon you’ll reap the rewards of your courage, surround yourself with inspiration, missteps are a lessons that propel you forward on your journey.

Always trust your instinct and embrace your uniqueness, in a world of ordinary, authenticity is your Superpower.

International Women’s Day is an amazing celebration to remind us of who we are! We are mothers,  daughters,  wives, nieces  sisters,  friends….we are capable of doing everything. Respect, love and always believe in yourself… that’s my motto!”
