The pandemic has erased a decade of progress in many countries in Latin America & the Caribbean. As we rebuild we can create more sustainable & equitable economies, and it starts with #empoweringwomen. Learn how we do this through the Ilu Fund: https://t.co/NlDZMRe0By @promujer

Wondering how to get more women to invest in your start-up? We asked 56 female leaders and got some incredible insights👇. Thanks @businesswomenbc for an electric IGNITE session and panelists @BonnieOWong @dhaliwalmk @daynaholland @MarlonThompson1 for great practical advice

Powerful op-ed by my brilliant and talented sister-in-law @manibanani. If we want to change the (dire) representation of women in #VC and #startups, we need to talk about pregnancy and parenting. #GLI https://t.co/1hdzJxmBjh

Won't be forgetting this one from @HIPinvestor "Investing in the stock market is investing in a +5*C world". A literal scorched earth🌍. Don't get depressed get a financial advisor that knows #esg and #impinv, there are alternatives.

5 pgs of notes from data harmonization session @GenderSmartIS. Central issue: #impinv is by nature data intensive but gathering data is extractive from communities. How do we collect data in an equitable way that centers #powerdynamics & #decolonization esp w intersectionalities

Super interesting discussion @gendersmartIS on strategies to get better #genderdata: for example go beyond counting women on boards to counting the minutes women speak during board meetings. Would love to see an AI tool for that!! #gendersmart21

Nice framing from @brookingsinst on why #SDGs are so compelling – metrics create a “race to the top”. @newbalance adds that SDGs are a post-COVID roadmap b/c there is an imperative for business to consider health, education & equality of stakeholders. @globalwa #Goalmakers2020

Nice kickoff to @GlobalWA #Goalmakers2020 with @FutureofFish. Seafood is primary protein source for 40% of the global pop, so investing in aquaculture & supporting artisanal fishing is key to #sustainabledevelopment. We've invested in Piscis in Peru:
