Reshma Saujani - A Conversation on Pay Up and Brave, Not Perfect
- Wed, Jan 29, 2025
- 12:30 pm–1:30 pm
Reshma Saujani dismantles the myth of "having it all" and lifts the burden we place on individual women to be primary caregivers and to work around a system built for and by men. Through powerful data and personal narrative. Saujani shows the cost of inaction and lays out four key steps for creating lasting change: empower working women, educate corporate leaders, revise our narratives about what i means to be successful, and advocate for policy reform.
For more than a decade, Saujani has built movements to fight for women’s and girls’ economic empowerment. An activist, she founded Girls Who Code to address the gender gap in computing classes. She is the author of the international bestseller Brave, Not Perfect, and her influential TED talk, “Teach girls bravery, not perfection,” has more than 5 million views globally. Most recently, she’s advocated for policies that value women’s labor in and out of the home, successfully introducing the Marshall Plan for Moms”(now Moms First) to House and Senate leaders.
