Despite women influencing 85% of all consumer purchases, the majority of businesses and products have been designed and created for men. Today’s guest, Danielle Kayembe, believes this paradigm is changing with the rise of women-centered innovation: products and services designed for women by women. In her whitepaper “The Silent Rise Of The Female-Driven Economy,” Danielle Kayembe discusses why women are the single largest opportunity in the market today, becuase they’ve been  overlooked, and underfunded. Indeed, when a population influences 85% of consumer spending, but only receives 2% of venture funding, there is a fundamental disconnect at the leadership level that will inevitably be corrected. In addition to her work on inclusive product design, Danielle shares how she has mastered the design of her internal world through cultivating her authentic voice, positive self-talk, and mediation. She provides tactical exercises on how to take up more space and create boundaries so you can step into your full Power. Danielle is founder of GreyFire Impact, an advisory firm that provides capital and resources to female business owners particularly in Africa.
