New documentary ‘Show Her the Money’ shines light on barriers faced by women entrepreneurs, screening in Phoenixville [Video]

PHOENIXVILLE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — A new documentary is shining a light on barriers faced by women entrepreneurs.

It’s called “Show Her the Money” and there is a screening Wednesday, October 16 in Phoenixville, Chester County.

Evidence indicates investing in women versus men is actually more profitable and the returns are actually better, yet less than 2% of venture capital goes to women.

It’s a reality Jasmine Jones, the founder of Myya, knows all too well.

“We help breast cancer survivors to be fit for post mastectomy bras and prosthetics,” she explained. “Instead of them having to go into a medical supply store or into a hospital gift shop, they’re able to shop with us and be fit for these items and the best part is that the costs are covered by their health insurance plans.”
