Imagine this... A world where young people are finally able to name not 1 female entrepreneur, but 100. I read a shocking stat this week that 8 in 10 young people can’t name a female entrepreneur. This is wild. Not only is it wild, it's sad. I'm surrounded by incredible female founders all the time (trust me, there's no shortage of them). Yet young people can't see the potential of what they could become. Today is International Day of the Girl, a UN initiative about rights and empowerment of girls. The day encourages girls to dream big, to pursue their goals. But girls can only do this when they see and can name role models they look up to. So here's what you can do to help make a change: 👉 Share stories about female entrepreneurs with teens 👉 Support media outlets that back female entrepreneurs 👉 Buy from female owned business and services 👉 Invite female speakers to your company / school 👉 Use your platform to feature female entrepreneurs This week I was part of an amazing campaign that Female Founders Rise are putting together to combat this. But so much more can be done And everyone can take action.
