Event Details
Join us as we livestream the Calvin University January Series. Reshma Saujani will argue for innovative corporate leadership, government intervention, and a sweeping culture shift—the topic of her most recent books, "Pay Up: The Future of Women and Work” and "Brave, Not Perfect." In her conversation with us, she’ll also dismantle the myth of having it all and lift the burden we place on individual women to be primary caregivers and how to celebrate imperfection.
For more than a decade, Reshma Saujani has built movements to fight for women’s and girls’ economic empowerment. An activist, she founded Girls Who Code to address the gender gap in computing classes. She is the author of the international bestseller Brave, Not Perfect, and her influential TED talk, “Teach girls bravery, not perfection,” has more than 5 million views globally. Most recently, she’s advocated for policies that value women’s labor in and out of the home, successfully introducing the Marshall Plan for Moms”(now Moms First) to House and Senate leaders.
