Episode #18
Independence with Vodafone Foundation and HSBC
With finance expert Nadya Bhettay, serial entrepreneur Anna Salewski, and banking genius Alexandra Schmidt-Mintgen. Moderated by Melissa Rancourt, Founder and Board President of greenlight for girls.
During one hour, we got inspired by these wonderful speakers. They told us all about their journeys, how being independent allowed them to shape their career and life, and shared their views on economic empowerment. Together, we also had fun with our hands-on experiment about tensegrity, forces and balances, by building a defying-gravity structure! You missed it? No worries, the replay is available!
