Social Entrepreneurship and Female Leadership



Would you like to be an entrepreneur or a leader? Host Diya Hituvalli brings her segment of Silver Lining talking about an social entrepreneurship initiative she developed called KeepMeSafe, a voice recognition technology to help the user in times of need. She discusses why and how she developed the KeepMeSafe app which is downloadable for FREE on the iOS App Store. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keepmesafe/id1510283747)

Diya interviews author, Betsy Cerulo, with her book SKAKE IT OFF LEADERSHIP, that will empower any leader with the skills, wisdom, and strength to successfully create or grow a business, while insuring balance and personal fulfillment. As an LGBTQ business leader, she learned how to shake-off the slights, disappointments, and roadblocks in building a successful business—not just the issues related to discrimination, but with all of the gumption, wisdom and courage it takes to create a thriving enterprise, with quality, happy, engaged staff and curation of clients that are an asset to the business. In the final segment, Diya reads a piece penned by Rose Sarner, discussing influential women leaders who have paved the way and are paving the way for myself and other women, including Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey, and Amelia Earhart. In the world it is really important that young girls see themselves in positions of power and succeeding in life so they gave feel empowered to do so themselves!
