Today is a recognized day for women like me. It's Latina Equal Pay Day. A day to bring awareness to this inequality in the U.S. As the host of Rising Stories Podcast and Regional Leader for Lean In Tennessee, I want to share some data today from Lean IN.org on the pay gap for Latina women and the implications it has had on our futures and our families. 

 

Here are just a few calls to action provocations. 

  • Many Equal Rights Advocates are taking the lead on implementation and enforcement efforts related to the Fair Pay Act. Find out who they are in your city. 
  • Vote at this year’s election on November 6. 
  • Tell your representatives in Congress to vote for legislation that will close the Latina Wage Gap. 
  • Read and Share the LeanIn.org & McKinsey annual study Women in the Workplace
  • Support your Latina co-workers & friends (don’t have one, connect with me on LinkedIn or Instagram)

You can also turn awareness into action by joining a Lean In circle and taking strides toward a more equal world. Lean In Circles are small peer groups that meet regularly to share ideas, gain skills, seek advice, and show solidarity. They're a place where women can be unapologetically ambitious. Being in a circle has allowed me to ask for what I want and to aim higher. I am supported by a whole world of powerful women. 

You can join our circle here or by visiting Lean In org circles to find a circle and network near you.

This week I had the pleasure of interviewing author Jessica Turner. Jessica is a working mom turned author, speaker, and blogger. Her book Stretched Too Thin shares practical and realistic ideas on how to manage it all as a working mom. In this interview, Jessica gives us a pep talk on what to do when we feel the pinch of guilt as moms. She also tells us her Enneagram number and we talk about one of her favorite holidays. 

We met to record this interview at the Scarritt Bennett Center, an urban retreat center in the heart of midtown Nashville.

My guest for episode #111 is Jennifer Briney from the Congressional Dish Podcast. I met Jen at a podcast event in Nashville and knew I had to interview. I always wanted to know more about what they are talking about on C-Span. Jen knows all about it, she is savvy about all things Congress and bills. Jen speaks from the perspective of a fed up taxpayer with no allegiance to any political party, and boy does she dish about both parties on this interview.

My guests for Rising Stories Podcast #103 are the gals from UrbanGirl Nashville. UrbanGirl is a local Women's Collective founded by Juliana Cox and Lindsey Sherrod. Juliana and Lindsey started this group because they wanted to provide a place for women who are new to this city to connect with each other. The Facebook group is a great resource and a way to build community with other newbies & Nashville natives. This group has grown to over 2,000 women. 

I am going to warn you, ladies, after you hear the story about the campfire night, you are going to want to pack up your things and move to Nashville. 

We talked about what it's like to move to a new city and how to make those lasting connections. You'll also hear a great story, towards the end, from someone who was not only new to Nashville but she was new to this country and her brave move to find community. 

 

A special thanks to WeWork for sharing their space with us for the recording of this podcast.
