Sheconomy™ A Global Economic Revolution Sparked by One Woman’s Vision

 By Adriana Luna Carlos | Co-Founder, She Rises Studios+

When we talk about movements that change the world, we often picture a room full of policymakers, economists, or investors. But this one started with a woman—a mother, a leader, and a firestarter—who saw a future no one else was talking about.

Her name is Hanna Olivas, and she is the creator of 

The Sheconomy™.

This powerful term is more than a headline. It’s a blueprint, a battle cry, and a worldwide movement designed to shift how money moves, how women lead, and how power is redistributed—permanently.

Hanna created The Sheconomy™ out of necessity—because women are still asked to navigate systems that were never built for us. And instead of waiting for reform, she decided to lead a revolution.

What Is The Sheconomy™?

The Sheconomy™ is Hanna’s term for the unstoppable economic force that women already represent—and the system we must now build to match it.

It’s not just about women entrepreneurs. It’s about every woman—the single mother, the underpaid caretaker, the disabled worker, the immigrant leader, the first-generation graduate. It’s about recognizing that women are the economy. And yet, we’re still treated like we’re asking for permission.

Women control over $31.5 trillion in global spending power. In the U.S. alone, nearly 40% of businesses are owned by women. And women make 75% of household purchasing decisions—from homes and healthcare to cars and technology.

So why are we still behind?

Because, as Hanna puts it: “We were never meant to thrive in systems we didn’t build.”

That’s why she created The Sheconomy™—to change that permanently.

Why It Matters Now More Than Ever

The July 2025 Sheconomy™ Report, written by Hanna and published in our She Rises Studios Newsletter, breaks down the urgent barriers that still hold women back. A few highlights:

• Only 2% of venture capital goes to women-led startups. Less than 1% goes to women of color.

• Women perform 2.5x more unpaid care work than men—a labor force that would add over $10 trillion to global GDP if compensated.

• In developing countries, over 45% of women entrepreneurs still lack affordable, reliable internet.

• Women globally have access to just 64% of the legal protections afforded to men.

These aren’t just numbers. These are warning signs that we must address—because ignoring them keeps women trapped in cycles of invisibility and economic dependence.

Hanna’s response? Build a system that makes us visible and powerful by design.

From Vision to Action

What makes Hanna’s leadership different is that she didn’t stop at defining the problem—she created the solution.

Under her guidance, She Rises Studios has launched The Sheconomy™ across multiple platforms, including:

• National and international events

• Books and publishing scholarships

• The Voices of 100 Women docuseries, now streaming in 127 countries on FENIX TV

• Workshops and online education

• Media campaigns reaching millions of women globally

And this is just the beginning.

Hanna believes that the only way to fix what’s broken is to stop asking to be included—and start owning the table, the tools, and the rules. She often says, “We don’t need inclusion. We need ownership.”

The Sheconomy™ Is Not a Trend—It’s the Future

Hanna’s vision isn’t just about making things better for women in business—it’s about rewriting how we measure value altogether. That means:

• Funding women relentlessly at every level—from microloans to venture capital.

• Closing the digital divide so every woman has access to tools like AI, e-commerce, and automation.

• Monetizing care work and building national care infrastructures.

• Normalizing women in power—not as the exception, but the standard.

And above all, collaboration over competition. The Sheconomy™ thrives when women rise together—not alone, not in silence, and not in scarcity.
