International Women’s Day: It’s Complicated

Today is International Women’s Day and we wanted to host a conversation about the day because… it’s complicated! I’m chatting with coach Rocío Caballero-Gill, and we wanted to have a candid thoughtful chat about international Women’s Day, what it means to focus on women specifically in academia, and how this company has changed over the last 5 years with respect to developing our programs through a lens of gender equity and inclusion.

MORE DETAILS

Rocío shares her work developing a professional organization called GeoLatinas and we talk about the difference between including and welcoming.
