Jessyca Marshall: Unlocking Opportunities with Holistic Hair Care and Beauty
Jessyca: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! I am addressing the challenges of good health and well-being within the hair care and beauty industry by promoting the use of natural, non-harmful products in hair care and wellness as well as holistic approaches that include mental health sensitivity and support. The issue of gender inequality in business ownership, as well as decent work and economic growth, is addressed through my hair care entrepreneurship programs aimed primarily at Black women entrepreneurs desiring to start or grow a business. By having more Black female entrepreneurs and business owners, we will address the challenge of reducing inequalities.

Rahul Srinivasan: Electrifying Health Facilities Across the Developing World
Rahul: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! As a part of an international organization with close links to the United Nations, we work with governments and various development partners to provide solutions and resources to support reliable, sustainable, and climate-friendly electrification of health facilities across the developing world. Electricity is critical to power many life-saving medical devices and equipment as well as to store medicines and vaccines. Since many developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, face an acute deficit of energy in their health facilities, addressing this pressing challenge can help save lives, improve maternal care and infant delivery, and enhance the overall quality of lives in these countries.
