One of the many reasons I love the work we do at Know Your Value is that we get to share stories like this one: Andrea Jung serves as the CEO of Grameen America, Inc., who is investing over $40 Billion in capital to support women entrepreneurs - the same type of program that helped her grandmother start her business and allowed her family to immigrate to America. It’s inspiring to see her to pay it forward for another generation of women. So powerful. Watch the complete Morning Joe interview here: https://lnkd.in/euKZMamg
