We #invest in people that look like us. We need #diverse #investors that support #entrepreneurs of all kinds: #women, #femme, #POC and #LGBTQ #founders. We can fix the investment problem today if we back the innovation we want in the world. #DianaImpactDay @babson @InnovateBU

Unless #people deeply affected by #problem are first at the table as #solutions are developed, #tech will not be effective at producing #scalable #impact. Go to local schools to engage women and kids in meaningful conversations. @UN @SolveMIT #SolveAtMIT
