Description
In this episode, Iynna talks to us about her unconventional path to VC and the underlying passions that drove her there. Iynna worked at the UN early on in her career and switched tracks to pursue impact work that was more directed. Having grown up in a family that emphasized the importance of education, she became aware of the contrast between her path and those of many others she grew up with, and has made providing resources to African women for education and professional growth a cornerstone of her accomplishments. Lastly, she brings up points on restructuring a broken VC model to not only become more diverse but also more inclusive.
