Maykow: Thanks for having me, Spiffy. Entrepreneurship is one of the most impactful ways to reduce income inequality. People with no access to better-paid jobs for several reasons, e.g., prejudice or social exclusion, decide to start a company as a way of living. In order to be successful at entrepreneurship, finance control is one of the most important elements to guarantee the success of a business. So, my company simplifies the finance control using artificial intelligence and simple text messages on WhatsApp, such as “paid 100 products,” “sold 200 cash,” or “profit”, providing graphics and analysis to those entrepreneurs.

Anna Penido: Training Educational Leaders to Offer Quality Education with Equity

Oct 26, 2023 Posted by: Sujit Kunte Anna Penido, Brazil, SDG 10, SDG 4, SDG 5

Anna: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! I live in Brazil, a beautiful but very unequal country, where the rich have many privileges and the poor face difficulties in accessing basic rights. In my country, racism is considered a crime, but it continues to exist and deepens inequalities. Black, brown, and indigenous people are seen and treated with prejudice. Cis men also have more opportunities than women and the LGBTQIA+ population. Education could reduce these inequities, but underprivileged groups generally go to the worst schools, are unable to learn well, and have great difficulty improving their lives. We want to promote more equity in education to reduce inequality in Brazil and in other countries in the Global South.
