#158: Watch my conversation with Jean Kilbourne on International Women's Day 💥
I sit down with a pioneering activist, feminist icon, and my personal hero.
Hello my friends. It’s been a minute, but I am back in your inbox with an incredible invitation.
Maya Angelou described Jean Kilbourne’s work as “intelligent probing” of “the issues that beset us all.”
Like me, Brené Brown reveals Jean “has changed the way I see the world and myself.”
It is with enormous pride that I invite you to join me for a conversation with pioneering activist and feminist icon, Jean Kilbourne on International Women’s Day.
Two chances to catch our conversation LIVE tomorrow, Tues 3/8:
Watch at 11:00am ET - on LinkedIn
Watch at 6:00pm ET - on LinkedIn (rebroadcast)
You can also tune in at both times on Twitter or watch the full broadcast ANYTIME here.
We’ll chat about:
The progress we have made (from the Supreme Court to USWNT) and the work left to be done
The staggering impact of the pandemic on working women and families
Fatherhood, empathy, and the critical role of men as feminist allies
The upcoming five-year anniversary of #MeToo and the power of telling our individual stories as a collective
Jean’s outlook is an inspiring reminder that each of us can - and must - continue the ongoing, necessary work for equality.

PS: Buckle up, ladies, for we are the “minority of the month!”
Keep this handy as you see femvertising campaigns launched tomorrow and all through Women’s History Month. It’s a helpful litmus test I made years ago to determine whether a campaign is pandering to the women’s rights movement, or a true ally. Read more.
