*This summer we're re-releasing previous episodes that we loved. Here is Jamila Rizvi episode from 2018*
We will rise together or not at all
Jamila Rizvia is an author, presenter, political commentator, the newly appointed editor-at-large of Future Women, former editor-in-chief of MamaMia. She has written two books, Not Just Lucky and The Motherhood, and signs off her emails Troublemaker At Large, which is a great sign.
We discuss:
a series of hilarious but also scary statistics, like the fact that there are more men named Andrew than women running ASX200 companies
Tips for negotiating, such as focus on what you want, not what you’ve got
The structural inequalities that we live in, and the importance of understanding them so we can see it’s not ‘just me’
Diversity is proven to shift the bottom line in organisations, so how do we make workplaces work better for women
A glorious story about how Barak Obama’s female staff supported each others ideas and in being heard
That we can all be part of the sisterhood and the feminist movement in whatever way works for us as individuals
The importance of community
How we all need to let go of the pursuit of perfection, and give ourselves a bit of a break
Resources
We mention some resources throughout the conversation, here is where you can find links to them all!
