In this episode, we chat with Sahar Jamal, CEO and founder of Maziwa. Her company developed the Wema Breast Pump --a portable, battery-operated, and wireless device that enables women to express breastmilk discreetly at work or in a public space. The pump is more affordable than other options, targeting low-income women who often lack access to breast pumps or lactation support.
