“Show Her The Money” Wraps 100-City Grassroots Global Tour

The acclaimed documentary, “Show Her The Money,” has successfully wrapped its ambitious 100-city grassroots global tour. This groundbreaking film took its message to cities across the globe, driven by a sponsorship from Wells Fargo. “Show Her The Money” highlights the power and significance of funding women entrepreneurs.

Directed by Ky Dickens and produced by Catherine Gray, “Show Her The Money” spotlights prominent female investors who are committed to backing diverse women entrepreneurs with world-changing innovations. The documentary emphasizes a central truth: money is power and women need equitable access to it to achieve genuine equality.

“Show Her The Money” introduces us to “angel investor” Dawn Lafreeda and Wendy Ryan. Lafreeda went from a struggling Denny’s waitress to the largest full-service female restaurant owner in America. Ryan is a powerhouse investor using her generational wealth to empower women and BIPOC entrepreneurs. We meet Pocket Sun, who was disheartened by the gross lack of funding of women entrepreneurs. So she did what Silicon Valley told her was impossible and co-founded her own female-led VC fund, SoGal Ventures.

This feat landed her on the cover of Forbes Asia magazine as one of its 30 under 30.

The film showcases:

• Diipa Khosla, global influencer and founder of Inde Wild, dermatologically designed and tested cosmetics loaded with Ayurvedic nutrients as well as science-backed ingredients that help reduce dark spots, brighten, heal and soothe blemishes and much more
• Marian Leitner, founder of Archer Roose Wines, a sustainable canned wine company that boasts actress Elizabeth Banks as spokesperson and co-owner
• Jasmine Jones, founder of Myya, the only online, direct-to-consumer, insurance billable, post-mastectomy intimates brand inspired by her grandmother’s battle with breast cancer. The former Miss District of Columbia USA believes “every woman deserves to feel beautiful.”
• Producer Gray, a “connector” and multi-hyphenate media powerhouse, brings subjects of the film together and hosts a weekly podcast, “Invest in Her”
• Vicky Pasche, co-founder, Dapper Boi, Inc., a gender-neutral, body-inclusive clothing line that ranks in the top 5 percent on Shopify

In addition to the founders and angel investors, the film also features actress Sharon Gless doing double duty as an executive producer.

Gray passionately underscored the documentary’s mission. “Our goal is to equip women with the knowledge and resources to navigate the venture capital landscape. The 100-city grassroots global tour has raised awareness and fostered change in the entrepreneurial funding ecosystem for women.”

Sponsored by Wells Fargo, the documentary’s tour visited cities in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. Many locations hosted post-screening discussions to delve deeper into the issues addressed in the film.
