The workplace is not working for women, especially women with marginalized identities; women of color, black and brown women especially, lesbian women, trans women, women with disabilities, and even women who are moms. Femily, Silicon Valley’s Gender and Equity Advisor, and I talk about the ways these inequities show up. Femily also shares her wisdom on why people shy away from conversation on race, gender, and identity. And under the “what can we do differently” column, Femily makes a powerful distinction between being a mentor and being a sponsor. This episode is hugely illuminating!
