Have you ever walked into a room and realized it was never built with you in mind?

This episode is about what happens when a woman stops waiting for an invitation and builds an entirely different room — a bigger one, a global one, one where women from every background, every culture, and every corner of the world are not just allowed in but seen, funded, supported, and heard. Host sits down with Maica Gil, founder of the San Francisco International Women Entrepreneurs Forum, the Woman Impact Summit — the fastest growing conference for women in business from underrepresented communities — and Heroikka, a global platform connecting women-led projects with funding and resources worldwide, for a raw and expansive conversation about visibility, access, and the audacity it takes to build what the world said did not need to exist.

This is not a conversation about fitting into spaces that were never designed for you. It is about building spaces so powerful the world has no choice but to take notice.

In this episode, you will discover: → The defining moment that made Maica stop waiting and start building → Why the funding gap for women is not just a money problem — it is a visibility problem → What to do today if you feel invisible in your industry or your calling → What it personally cost Maica to stay unapologetically herself across cultures, governments, and continents → Why the permission you have been waiting for was never coming from the outside

The table exists. There is room for you. And you were never created to wait outside.
