Now You Know

Now You Know is a new series from Al Jazeera dedicated to amplifying women’s voices, stories, and at times, some pretty uncomfortable topics. This is a safe space where we go all in so that by the end of each episode, you can say, Now I know.  We dive into topics ranging from women in film, finance, sport, health, and career ambition. We talk to women who keep the ladder down so that the girls who follow in their footsteps can climb up. Now You Know is conversation-driven. Host Samantha Johnson meets people from around the world who share their experiences so that others can learn to keep themselves healthy or be inspired to achieve their own goals.

    Do you believe in unicorns? Successful women do.

    When it comes to starting a business, or becoming an entrepreneur, the odds are stacked against women. Less support, less funding and fewer chances to succeed. When it comes to money in general, women still earn less. Sixteen percent less. In this episode of Now You Know, we find out what it takes to create a billion-dollar company. Tech entrepreneur, Silvina Moschini, is the first Latina to lead a company to unicorn status - a business that’s valued over a billion dollars without being listed on the stock market. And, she’s determined to hold the door open for all women to achieve financial success and independence.       In this episode:  Silvina Moschini, X and IG, Speaker | Entrepreneur | Future of Money Expert Episode credits: This episode was produced by Fahrinisa Campana, Ruby Zaman, Zaina Badr, and our Host, Samantha Johnson.  Our sound designer is Joe Plourde.
