How to Start a Movement with a Book: Simran Kaur from Girls that Invest

Simran Kaur, the dynamic force behind Girls that Invest, shares how her personal crusade for gender equality evolved into a transformative global movement. Her unwavering commitment to educating women on financial mastery lays the foundation for a future where finance is as much a women's world as it is a man's.   

We don’t just talk shop about investment strategies; we dig into the roots of her mission, exploring the gender pay gap and financial abuse, and how these issues underscore the vital need for financial literacy. Her story, from advocating for fairness in her own home to igniting a worldwide community of female investors, emphasizes her commitment to making finance both accessible and equitable. 

The Power of Women, Wealth, and Wisdom 

Together, we trace the path from youthful realizations about the importance of money matters to the burning desire to stand financially independent without a partner’s safety net. 

Hear the cultural hurdles and societal epiphanies that catalyzed Simran’s quest for independence, transforming a simple Instagram account into a rallying cry for feminist empowerment.
