Oh, Welcome to the Jasmine Star Show where we talk a little bit about life in

business but today we're going to be talking a lot about life into business.

So two crazy things happened rather recently.

I was able to hike the Phoenician desert.

Yeah, in Phoenix, went hiking in the month of October, traditionally,

there's nothing like staring out into a Phoenian basin and realize like hey just how small you are.

I was there with a group of founders I'm a part of a mastermind called Hampton and there was about

33 people there and I was the only woman which is

interesting and of itself but I was welcomed with open arms and I went through the

entire event and I wanted to share a little bit about what I was learning when I was there.

So I was posting on social media updates, things that I was learning.

And at the end of one of the stories, I posted the following, and I'm going to read it here because I

want to be very clear about what I said because the story is going to fall into it.

Quote, for those who asked yes I was the only female founder in attendance. That needs to change.

Less than 2% of venture capital goes to women and less than 0.5% to women of color.

I don't want to be alone in these rooms, so I create content

to share my experiences to help other women

and underrepresented founders.

It's a labor of love, but also a way

to leave the door open for anybody who's willing to follow.

I put that out and then a couple hours later.
