Why Are Women Stepping Away from Traditional Social Media? A recent study confirms what many have suspected—mainstream social media isn’t serving all women. Concerns around misinformation, trust, safety, and content quality are leading women to disengage. Yet, the demand for genuine connection, mentorship, and career growth remains stronger than ever. Join Jacki Zehner & Shubhi Rao as they break down key insights from Uplevyl’s latest report and explore the future of digital spaces for women. This discussion will cover the challenges of existing platforms, what women truly seek in online communities, and how UP by Uplevyl is creating a purpose-driven alternative. The data speaks for itself—the time for change is now. Let’s discuss what’s next. 📅 Date: Tuesday, March 18, 2025 ⏰ Time: 11:00 AM MST | 1:00 PM EST 📍 Where: LinkedIn Live 🎤 Speakers: Jacki Zehner & Shubhi Rao

So excited to have had the opportunity to speak with these incredible women on how we can #LevelUp and thrive in the age of AI as part of Evercore’s 2025 Women’s Conference. Thank you for joining us Erica Orange , Shubhi (Bhonsle) Rao , and Elsa Ferreira !

The Future of Leadership Is Female—but are workplaces truly ready for it?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! May your path be bright, your goals unstoppable, and your success as golden as a pot at the end of the rainbow! 💚 #StPatricksDay #WomenLeadingForward

I jumped at the opportunity to present with these amazing women at the Evercore Wealth Management, LLC #LevelingUp women’s conference. A recent Deloitte study estimated that: ✔️While women represent 47% of the total workforce in the US, they represent only 26% of data and AI positions. ✔️At the same time, 71% of women AND men working in AI and machine learning strongly agreed that adding women to AI and machine learning will bring a unique perspective to high tech …something that is needed in the industry. Led wonderfully by Neza Gallitano from Evercore, I was joined by Shubhi (Bhonsle) Rao of Uplevyl who shared fascinating technical insights about the #futureofAI and Elsa Ferreira who spoke to the practical applications internally. All three of us touched on the confidence gap in AI. According to a recent survey from Coursera, only 36% of women believe the progression of generative AI can advance their careers, compared to 45% of men. And Goldman Sachs suggests 80% of women’s jobs are at risk because of AI. So the time to level up - the theme of today’s conference - is now. The time to invest in our human talent is now. The time to reward the skillsets that cannot be replicated by technology is now. And the time to invest in women - and prioritize the #futureofwomen- is now.

March Pt. 1... Kicked off the month by hosting the UK launch event of Uplevyl, alongside Priscilla Anyabu, at the historic Cherry Red Records Stadium, home of AFC Wimbledon, delivered in partnership with Fulham Football Club FC.
