Ai-jen Poo embodies what it means to be a caring leader. She’s the Co-founder and President of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, an organization focused on the rights of 2.2 million domestic workers across the country, as well as the Co-Founder and Director of Caring Across Generations and Co-Founder of Supermajority.
A MacArthur "Genius" Award recipient, Ai-jen has over 25 years of experience advocating alongside, and on behalf of, some of the most essential members of our community.
In this week’s episode, Ai-jen joins Sali to share what it means to have a career as an advocate, including:
- the “privilege" of being able to fail.
- the widely overlooked care economy.
- stepping into the spotlight (even if reluctantly).
- the worst job she’s ever had.
- why women should celebrate their wins—and each other’s, too.
