Catherine Gray, host of the Invest In Her Podcast, interviews Julie Castro Abrams, founder of How Women Lead and How Women Invest, whose work centers on expanding women's economic power and access to leadership. With a background leading a microfinance and microenterprise organization that supported women business owners, Julie brings a longstanding commitment to economic justice to her work in venture capital. Through her organizations, she helps women become investors, support female founders, and prepare for corporate board service.

In this episode, Julie and Catherine explore how women can help shape the future by taking a more active role in where their money is invested. Julie shares how How Women Invest combines investment opportunities with education, founder pitch sessions, and a community where women learn by participating. They discuss supporting innovations in women's health, asking financial advisors meaningful questions about portfolio representation, and bringing diverse perspectives into corporate boardrooms. Their conversation highlights the power of connection and collective action to expand opportunities for women founders, investors, and leaders.
