In honor of Women’s History Month & Gender Equal In honor of Women’s History Month & Gender Equality Month, let’s have some honest conversations about gender equity. Listen as our founder, and author of Equity, Minal Bopaiah (@mbopaiah), breaks down power, money, and time - and how they relate to gender equity. 

Today we’ll start with: time, and how the 40 hour work week is a sexist expectation… a little controversial, we know. But hear us out. Watch the full video to hear our tip on how to use time to design a more gender equitable organization.
