In today’s episode, we speak with the five founders of WLI, who started the organization in 2006 because they felt that Yale required an official organization that would empower and celebrate womxn and offer opportunities for leadership and development. We are joined by Alexandra Suich (Senior Correspondent for Politics, Technology, and Society at the Economist), Allison Pickens (Fortune’s Most Powerful Women, investor, board director and former COO of Gainsight), Marissa Brittenham (Head of Strategic Partnerships at Cityblock Health), Rebecca Taber (Founder and Co-CEO of Merit America, former Director of Government and Non-Government Partnerships at Coursera), and Tamara Micner (Writer, Performer, Journalist currently developing the solo show Holocaust Brunch w/ support from several prominent UK theater organizations). These incredible women talk to us about what it was like starting an organization focused on women's empowerment in a male-dominated environment, how their experience at Yale and leading the WLI affected their life post-Yale, and share advice for young women interested in similar career paths.
