The Feminist Identity — Why It’s Not Just for Women

You used to think gender was a simple thing. For some of you, you simply were born into one, and for others, you have questioned, identified and discovered for yourself.

Whatever your gender is, gender does play a very important role in shaping what your life looks like — this is undeniable.

In this post #metoo era, it is often an uncomfortable topic to discuss. In the episode, The Feminist Identity , on we focus on what it’s like to be a leader as a woman, how women can support and empower each other, and some of the traumatic things that women face in the world.

Mary and Anna Bloom (of Snap Inc. and Airbnb Plus, respectively) join me to share some personal stories and excellent advice for men and women alike around what it’s like to be a powerful woman.

We discuss what it means to be a feminist and how this concept has evolved over the course of their lives, the ways they support their feminist identity as a leader, motherhood as an identity shift, and ways you can support yourself as a woman.

I think you’re going to find the way they show up in their organizations as women to be profoundly inspiring whether you’re a man, a woman, or any other gender.

You are allowed to be a powerful woman.

And men, you are allowed to be feminists.
