Couldn’t we be doing more?

I don’t blame that voice for asking. She knows that she is raising children in a society where if things don’t shift faster the pay gap won’t close for another 43 years (and that’s only if you’re a white woman), and start-ups like the e-cigarette company Juul will continue to raise more money annually than all female founders in the US, combined. But I also know so many incredible womxn that care deeply about issues of equality and inclusion, I have to believe that if we put our powers together we can push for progress forward faster at both an individual and societal level. In order to amplify our efforts, I think it’s critical to identify concrete actions we can take on our own and collectively to drive change in the right direction.
