HQ is a dynamic virtual space in the metaverse, transforming the future of work for girls and women by fostering mutual support, building social and professional networks, and providing leadership development in the creative sectors. Centered around the 3Cs—Connect, Collaborate, and Create—HQ offers activities and programs that empower our wāhine to lead, innovate, and thrive in unprecedented ways, especially in the realms of self-employment and economic well-being.

WFA is committed to breaking down the barriers faced by wāhine (including cis, trans, gender-expansive, and non-binary individuals who feel comfortable in a space centering wāhine experiences) freelancers, business owners, and creatives. We recognize the challenges of isolation, lack of support, and limited economic opportunities in these fields, and aim to address them head-on. Through a strong, supportive community and targeted workforce training, HQ is redefining the future of work for wāhine across all stages of their economic journeys—whether as freelancers, founders, entrepreneurs, business owners, designers, or creatives. Our approach is rooted in the collective wisdom and shared experiences of our alliance, empowering wāhine to thrive and succeed.
