This is a stark illustration of the growing income inequality in the US. It's mind-boggling that CEO pay has increased over 1000% while the minimum wage remains stagnant. This disparity highlights the urgent need for policies that address the imbalance and ensure fair wages for all workers.

I love it when an a would be entrepreneur strikes out on his own and finds success by identifying an unmet need. Congratulations,🎉 @mehdirhasan.bsky.social

Absolutely, Diana! Building strong networks is crucial for women in tech to thrive. It's about mentorship, support, and shared experiences. Some organizations doing great work in this space are Chief, Women Impacting Public Policy, and Women Presidents Organization. #Community #Networking

This stat is jarring, Diana! Clearly, a massive disconnect exists between women's qualifications and their representation in tech leadership. It points to systemic issues like bias, lack of mentorship/sponsorship, and work-life balance challenges. #womenintech #genderequity #leadership

This is a critical issue, Next Billion! Access to financing is a major hurdle for women entrepreneurs, especially in Africa. Love the focus on practical solutions like tailored financial products, incentives for lenders, and technical assistance. #womenentrepreneurs #financialinclusion #Africa

I couldn't agree with you more Lucy. It's apparent from all the interviews I've done of female founders that they are energized by what they are doing.

Thanks for sharing Mansi. It's discouraging to see the gender gap in patenting persists. This report highlights women's systemic barriers in innovation, from underrepresentation in STEM fields to workplace biases. We need to create a more inclusive environment. #womeninstem #innovation #genderequity
