What if you could sit down in your living room for an intimate conversation with journalist, writer, and legendary feminist organizer Gloria Steinem and Academy Award-winning actor Julianne Moore who plays Steinem in the biographical film “The Glorias?” What would you like to ask either of them?
You can! Join Take The Lead to meet these two powerful women for an exclusive intimate virtual event on December 15 at 8 pm eastern time.
The event will be moderated by two of the next generation of activists for women, filmmaker and most recently producer of “And She Could Be Next” Jyoti Sarda and Boss Bride author and former Essence senior editor Charreah Jackson. Both are alumnae of Take The Lead’s 50 Women Can Change the World programs.
LIMITED SEATS AVAILABLE so hurry to reserve yours.
All proceeds for Take The Lead’s work for gender parity in leadership, including leadership training, role model events, and coaching such as our 50 Women Can Change the World(R) programs that have been proven effective in accelerating all women’s careers. Funds raised will provide scholarships to our courses for women whose lives and livelihoods have been disrupted by COVID. And they will enable us to continue to provide free resources such as our award-winning blog and newsletter, podcasts, webinars, book events, and other solution-oriented thought leadership.
Studies predict that because women have left or been forced out of the workforce four times more than men, advances women have made in the workforce will be set back 10 years. Black, Latinx, and indigenous women have been especially hard hit. But instead of accepting that setback, we intend to make it an opportunity to make the workplace more equitable for both men and women, and that, in turn, will inspire a great comeback. We are committed to infusion all our curricula with racial justice principles as well as serving diverse women in all programs.
We think Gloria and Julianne will have lots to say about why women must be at the heart of recovery from the pandemic.
We are thrilled to invite you to this once in a lifetime opportunity to hear from these two incredible activists and to ask a question of either or both women. Once you have signed up, we will give you the opportunity to send in a question, and we will also take questions live during the conversation.
It absolutely is a unique bucket list event, especially for our community. Join us - tickets are going to fly.
Together we have the Power To Change the impact of the past year on women’s careers. With your help, we will continue to serve and offer resources to shift the pandemic’s negative impact on women to positive change toward equity, fairness, and inclusion.
