Mehr als 1,1 Mio. Interaktionen verzeichnet Womena laut Gründerin Elissa Freiha über seine Plattformen. Das Unternehmen wurde 2013 von Freiha und Chantalle Dumonceaux gegründet. Über die Jahre investierte Womena rund 0,5 Mio. US-$ (412.535 CHF) in von Frauen geführte Firmen. Nach dem Ausstieg ihrer Mitgründerin übernahm Freiha die alleinige Kontrolle. Heute produziert Womena, mit Sitz in Abu Dhabi und Produktion in Kairo, Podcasts, Dokumentationen, Filme und Ausstellungen. Mit diesen Formaten will Freiha feministische Perspektiven im arabischen Raum sichtbar machen. Sämtliche Gewinne fliessen zurück ins Unternehmen; genaue Umsatz- und Gewinnzahlen nennt Freiha nicht. «Ich habe erkannt, dass das Geschichtenerzählen viel wirkungsvoller ist als die finanziellen Investitionen», sagt sie. Einzelne Inhalte wie der Podcast legten laut Freiha im Jahresvergleich um rund 300 % zu. Den vollständigen Artikel auf Forbes Swiss lesen (Link in Bio). #forbes #forbesswiss #womena

⏰ New segment unlocked: welcome to SAGE BAITING! We give our hosts a blind topic and absolutely no time to prepare. They have 20 minutes and one rule: keep talking until the time runs out. No one knows where the conversation will take us, so tune in and let’s find out together ‼️ For our first SAGE BAITING episode, the blind topic is “Pick Me.” Our hosts unpack what pick me behavior actually means, where the line between being yourself and seeking male validation starts to blur, and how it can affect female friendships. And, of course, they had to ask: are there male “Pick Mes” too? Catch the full episode through the link in bio. 🔗

EPISODE 4 OUT NOW | Do you need to brand yourself? We explore how creativity has become increasingly commercialized, with artists and creators feeling the pressure to constantly share their work, build a personal brand, and stay visible online. We reflect on what it means to be creative beyond the algorithm, and how making space for play and imperfect hobbies, embracing self expression, and finding inspiration offline can help us reconnect with our authentic selves. We also share how our forms of expression and professional personas have evolved over the years, and what it means to rebrand ourselves as we grow into new versions of who we are.
