3 Ways to Shine a Light on Disrespect Towards Women at Work
When I hear women’s stories about being disrespected, harassed and mistreated in workplaces, I feel sadness, frustration, empathy (I am not immune from harassment and discrimination) anger and determination.

She’ll Be Right Mate! (won’t she?)
She’ll be right mate! The image of the laconic Aussie comes to my mind when I hear that phrase. She’ll be right tells me not to worry, not to stress, everything will work out alright in the end.

5 Ways for Powerful Men to Be Active Allies
I started my business in 2016 to become one of the many allies needed to solve the global problem of gender inequality. Powerful men were (and still are) my target market to enact the much-needed change we need to see.

I shared my thoughts and advice in an interview with Femeconomy co-founder Jade Collins.
