Call Your Girlfriend

Ann Friedman and Aminatou Sow

4.3/5

Aminatou Sow (IPA: ; born April 1985) is a United States-based businesswoman, digital strategist, writer, podcast host, interviewer and cultural commentator. She is the co-founder of Tech LadyMafia and she co-hosted the podcast Call Your Girlfriend with her friend, the journalist and editor Ann Friedman. Together, they also wrote the best-selling book, Big Friendship. Sow was named to Forbes 30 under 30 in Tech in 2014.

Sow was born in Guinea to a diplomat father and engineer mother. Because of her father's job, the family moved often and Sow grew up in Nigeria, Belgium, and France. She speaks five languages.

Despite the fact that she grew up in a conservative Muslim household, they were untraditional in the way that they encouraged their daughters to succeed and told them they could accomplish anything boys could. While growing up, Sow looked to the United States as a place of possibility and convinced her parents to send her to a small American boarding school, while she worked on her accent by watching TV.
