Episode notes
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Reshma Saujani, the visionary behind Girls Who Code and the first Indian-American woman to run for U.S. Congress. As the child of Indian refugees who fled persecution in Uganda and faced discrimination in Chicago in the 1970s, Reshma emerged with a fighting spirit to become a force for change. She founded Moms First to advocate for policies that value women’s labor in and out of the home with the goal of transforming our workplace, government, and societal systems. Reshma discusses her upbringing and her work in tech and politics, and also sheds light on themes that she explored in her powerful book Brave, Not Perfect. Tune in for a dynamic conversation highlighting the value of bravery, following your curiosity, embracing failure, and making a positive impact on the world.
