What is Girl in Motion?
Imagine a New Zealand business ecosystem where as migrant women entrepreneurs we don’t just survive—we thrive. Because when we do, our entire nation benefits.
Yet migrant women entrepreneurs still face significant barriers: navigating unfamiliar systems, facing barriers to capital, and missing the networks and support that could transform our journey.
This is why Girl in Motion exists.
We’re using technology and community to create something meaningful—a space where migrant women entrepreneurs can connect, grow, and build businesses rooted in belonging. We’re building a platform that brings people together, removes barriers, and creates real opportunity.

This is our why
We firmly believe that when migrant-owned businesses thrive communities thrive. The impact of women in business is massive. That’s why Girl in Motion exists. To create an impact in women’s lives by giving them the confidence to take the reigns and write their own business story.
By supporting migrant and former refugee women entrepreneurs, we’re not just uplifting individual lives – we’re investing in the future prosperity of our communities as a whole.
- People before profit. Always.
- We celebrate all women and encourage our unique journeys.
- Inclusivity. We believe every woman deserves a seat at the table.
- We believe work should be fun
- We communicate with kindness and respect
- We embrace imperfect action
At the core of everything we do is equality. We want to give all women access to a path towards financial independence and leading a fulfilling life.
Meet the girl behind Girl in Motion
Hello, I’m Nat! I am on a mission to make the world a better place, one migrant-led business at a time.
I believe in the transformational power of starting a business. Not just for the business owner, but the wider positive impact it has on families, communities, nations and our global village.
As a migrant myself, I have a deep personal connection to the experiences and challenges faced by women who have immigrated to New Zealand.
I created Girl in Motion to do my part in pulling up chairs for more women to find a seat at the table.
