Gender- and race-based pay inequities are among the most troubling forms of workplace discrimination today—particularly in tech. Renegade Partners take on How to be a Fair Pay CEO. In the #Supercritical Stage and beyond. cc Susan Wolff Alban FORTUNE fortune.com/2020/08/25/equ…

(1/8): A short thread on #RBG and motherhood: In Forbes , I reflect on the legacy of #RBG on women—esp. working mothers. Her tireless fight for gender equity reminds us that motherhood is an asset in the workplace, offering a playbook for all of us. forbes.com/sites/deenasha…

(2/8) The lasting influence of the late #RBG on working women is undeniable. After being demoted from a job for being pregnant, she matriculated at Harvard Law School in 1956 as 1 of 9 women in a class of 500. She did so with a young baby in tow.

(4/8) Fast fwd to 2020. Parenting in a pandemic is hard—with heightened pressures on mothers and families of color, many struggling to keep their families fed, clothed + housed. Parents—especially mothers—are experiencing a mental health crisis. Systemic inequities are amplified

(5/8) Last month, All Raise unveiled a study on the impact of the pandemic on male vs. female founders. The women are spending *twice* as much time on caregiving, but report *no notable impact on revenue and even more optimism for future* than the men medium.com/allraise/under…

(6/8) In the midst of the crisis—inspired by RBG—I am more convinced than ever that motherhood is an asset to seek out in leaders. The good news is the skills don't require 40 weeks of gestation or the risk of stretch marks; playbook applies to all. forbes.com/sites/deenasha…
