When it comes to finance, many women are critically overlooked and underbanked. But if women entrepreneurs received an equal level of support, the global economy could experience up to a $5 trillion boost. This week we're joined by Debbie Watkins, Founder and CEO of Lucy, an app that helps to bridge the financial divide - putting money back into the hands of women. 

She shares how a year of backpacking and volunteering led her to realize that there was so much that could be done to improve access to finance for women and small businesses, so decided to launch Lucy. We learn about the meaning behind the name, the challenges female entrepreneurs face, and what companies should do to be more inclusive. 

Lucy will be launching in 2021! Check out their website for more details: https://welucy.com/
