lollipop was founded to address the lack of representation and inequity faced by Black women in leadership roles. That commitment remains at the heart of everything we do. As we’ve grown, it’s become clear that many more women — across backgrounds — face similar challenges, particularly at mid-career, where support can often fall away. So we’ve expanded. Today, lollipop supports all mid-level women, while continuing to centre Black women, who remain significantly underrepresented at senior levels. We bring together a network of experienced mentors — people with lived experience and committed allies — who are dedicated to creating practical, meaningful change. Through mentorship, we build confidence, improve access, and support women to navigate their careers with clarity and ambition. When women are supported to grow and lead, the impact reaches far beyond the individual.
