A
B
A
All
right
that
makes
it
a
little
bit
easier
good
morning
to
everyone
here
in
the
room.
We
have
a
full
house.
Please
get
yourself
as
much
food
as
you
can.
Throughout
this
event,
eat
meet
somebody
new
good
morning
to
everybody
online.
We
have
I
think
over
a
hundred
people
joining
us
online
I.
Think,
let's
give
a
round
of
applause
for
all
of
this
energy.
A
A
C
Good
morning,
everyone,
oh
that
feels
so
good
to
hear
in
person
I,
don't
have
to
say
you're,
muted
hi
to
everyone
on
Zoom
25
years
ago,
this
breakfast
was
created
by
women
leaders
who
knew
the
power
in
our
Collective
voice
right.
So
it's
so
beautiful
to
see
how
much
that
sister
Circle
has
expanded
over
the
past
25
years.
C
Yes,
today,
I
love
the
fact
that,
with
planning
with
Sasha
and
ogre,
our
Coalition
has
grown
to
over
50
organizations
that
are
supporting
this
event
today.
So
please
give
yourselves
a
round
of
applause
for
coming
together
to
celebrate
women.
C
You
know
we've
been
doing
this
for
the
past
few
years
over
zoom
and
that
did
not
stop
our
advocacy
so
I'm
very
happy
that
as
we,
you
know,
celebrate
and
look
back
on
25
years
that
we
can
do
so
with
this
great
leadership
team
that
I
have
beside
me
and
a
lot
of
women
have
supported
us
in
the
creation
of
this
event.
C
So
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
all
and
as
a
footnote,
because
we
always
love
to
celebrate
advances
in
first
from
some
of
my
from
some
of
my
asking.
I
did
notice
and
I
just
want
to
know
and
recognize
that
ogre
and
myself
we
are
the
first
women
of
color
to
lead
this
event
here.
C
So
that
is
a
very
heart.
That
is
a
very
wonderful
thing
to
say
and
feel
so.
I
just
want
to
say
again
thank
you
for
letting
us
Steward
the
vision
for
today.
C
You
know
when
I
think
about
the
Gathering.
We
have
here
I
think
if
anything,
when
we
think
about
looking
at
our
past
and
charting
a
path
forward
for
the
future.
We
recognize
that
it
takes
all
women.
It
takes
black
women,
it
takes
Brown
women,
it
takes
immigrant
women,
it
takes
queer
and
trans
women.
It
takes
everyone
and
allies
in
order
to
actualize
the
reality
that
we
want
to
see.
So
in
the
spirit
of
Sisterhood.
C
We
know
that
we
all
have
a
place
in
this
movement,
a
movement
which
began
early
early
Generations
before
and
it
was
all-
and
it
was
only
recognized
by
the
women
who
felt
the
need
for
Change
and
I'm
happy
to
say
that
now
that
we
have
women's
History
Month
an
international
women's
day,
we
have
opportunities
for
us
to
not
only
celebrate,
celebrate
but
activate
our
advocacy
as
we
all
come
together
today.
C
Just
looking
at
you,
while
I'm
just
I'm
just
very
excited,
it
just
makes
me
so
hopeful
and
I'm
just
looking
at
so
many
women
that
I've
worked
with
in
different
capacities
and
you've
supported
me,
either
professionally
or
personally
so
I
just
want
to
say
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
Thank
you
and
I
can't
wait
for
us
to
go
into
today's
into
today's
breakfast.
So
I'm
gonna
pass
it
off
to
agar
to
I'm
sure
some
more
remarks.
D
D
D
So
we
need
to
keep
going
Elena.
We
need
to
keep
going
right.
Yes,
yes,
so
we
thank
you,
my
coaches
and
I,
the
members
of
the
committee,
who
were
just
so
helpful.
D
A
A
These
were
women
who,
25
years
ago,
took
a
look
at
the
what
was
going
on
around
in
terms
of
international
conferences
for
women
in
Beijing
and
said:
what
could
we
do
here
in
Boston
to
have
us
all
come
together
and
see
that
we
are
not
just
living
in
a
Boston
bubble?
We
are
connected
to
this
movement
internationally
and
then
the
first
year
after
the
brunch.
They
said
this
isn't
just
a
one-year
thing.
A
A
A
C
D
A
So
we
have
a
moment
to
wait
until
our
next
two
featured
guests,
and
so
we
want
to
give
this
moment
to
you
to
introduce
yourself
to
the
folks
around
the
table.
If
you
haven't
already
yet
share
where
you're
from,
if
you're
affiliated
with
an
organization
and
we'll
get
your
attention
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes.
C
C
Where
are
you
thank
you
for
coming
and
then
for
city
of
Boston
I
do
see
quite
a
few
folks.
I
do
see.
Counselor
Bach,
saying
hi
in
the
front
and
I
did
also
see
counselor
Legion
awesome.
C
Are
there
any
other
elected
officials
in
the
building
right
now?
I
know
we
have
one
on
the
way,
but
okay,
we
also
wanted
to
shout
out
the
commission
on
the
status
of
women.
There
is
here
and
she's
here
with
a
number
of
Commissioners.
C
We
also
from
mcsw.
We
do
have
Dr
ayusha
Miller,
who
is
the
vice
chair,
Meredith,
Truitt,
Kimberly,
Shea,
and
because
I
don't
want
to
miss
anyone,
Audra
Hall,
so
thank
you,
I
know
and
I
know.
We
have
many
other
people
here.
I
wish
I
could
shout
every
last
person
out.
That's
here.
I
know:
Shameless
plug
I,
see
quite
a
few
city
of
Boston
folks
here,
hi
friends,
hi
families,
but
yes,
I'm,
just
really
excited
to
see.
C
So
many
of
you
here
so
I'm
so
happy
that
my
calming
voices
brought
us
back
to
speaking
program,
but
we
are
going
to
move
forward
with
some
of
our
remarks.
So
I'm
going
to
invite
Ogar
up
here
to
introduce
our
next
speaker.
D
D
B
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
Simmons
and
happy
25th
birthday,
it
is
an
honor
to
have
you
here
and
thank
you
for
the
introduction
you
know.
Simmons
is
a
university
that
loves
to
host
women-centered
organizations
that
are
doing
The
crucial
work
for
the
region.
People
such
as
you
when
we
think
about
International
women's
day.
It's
a
global
recognition
designed
to
celebrate
the
social,
the
economic
and
cultural
and
political
achievement
of
women.
B
B
B
B
C
C
C
There
was
a
tide
of
change
when
it
came
to
what
it
looks
like
to
be
a
woman
leader
in
Boston
I
know:
I
casted,
my
first
vote
when
I
lived
in
Roxbury
for
now
congresswoman
Ayanna
Presley
and
seeing
that
she
came
from
such
a
great
city,
council
I,
said:
I
have
to
learn
more
about
who's,
leading
the
city
that
I
live
in
and
through
those
years,
I
really
got
to
know
then
counselor,
Michelle
Wu
and
the
work
that
she's
done
to
Advocate
to
build
a
city
for
us
all.
C
So
I
will
take
a
personal
point
of
privilege
to
for
us
to
receive
the
first
elected
woman
of
color
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Our
mayor
mayor,
Michelle,
Wu.
E
It
is
wonderful
to
see
you
all
and
Happy
International
women's
day
we
celebrate
our
incredible
leaders
across
every
sector,
all
throughout
the
year
and
every
single
month,
but
it
is
fun
to
get
some
time
together
and
and
just
be
here
in
person,
I
think
over
the
years
I
have
been
at
this
event
in
this
very
room
celebrating
with
with
many
of
you
all
and
to
see
the
tables
full
today,
with
Incredible
leadership
from
all
across
our
city
is
just
what
I
needed.
What
I
personally
needed
this
morning.
E
E
Thank
you
thank
you,
but
for
your
day-to-day
work,
I
was
so
proud
and
so
excited
to
hear
that
we
had
gotten
you
into
City
Hall
and
into
a
leadership
role,
and
it's
been
so
fun
to
see
you
around
the
table
at
in
the
moments
where
we've
been
making
important
decisions
and
setting
the
course
for
our
future.
So
shout
out
to
Ayanna.
E
Thank
you
to
your
fellow
co-chairs,
the
planning
committee,
Sasha
and
Winnie
and
and
everyone
who's
been
involved,
Dr,
Lynn,
Perry,
Wooten,
of
course,
what
an
incredible
role
model
and
partner
in
the
work
of
our
city,

so
grateful
for
her
direct
leadership
in
City
issues
like
ensuring
our
Workforce
and
growth
match
the
the
goals
that
we
have
for
equity
and
sustainability
in
partnering
directly
with
our
library
system
and
ensuring
that
we
can
continue
to
draw
Talent
locally
and
and
connect
every
opportunity
to
our
residents.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
E
I
get
to
sit
at
a
table
with
the
the
panel
who
you'll
hear
from
just
change
makers,
Trailblazers
and
those
who
have
been
fighting
to
keep
the
doors
wide
open
for
many
to
come
through
so
to
Karen
and
and
Beth
and
Patricia
Elena
Grace.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do
and
can't
wait
to
hear
your
insights
as
well.
E
I'm
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
people
to
thank
in
this
room,
but
I
want
to
I
want
to
get
through
a
list
because
they're
the
work
that
we
do
every
day
is
only
possible
with
Partners
from
all
around
I.
Have
several
colleagues
who
are
elected
officials
here
as
well.
I'm
told
that
City
councilor
Ruthie
luigien
is
here.
Here's
ritzy
at
large
city,
councilor
I
have
City
councilor
Kenzie
Bach
on
my
list
because
he's
in
the
back.
E
I
am
told
that
my
former
colleague
from
the
city
council,
Anisa,
Savi
George,
now
Madam
president
in
her
new
role
running
an
organization
that
is
her
passion.
Nice
to
see
you
good
morning
did
I
miss
on
you
on
an
elected
office.
Who
is
here.
E
Counselors
today,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
Thank
you
for
always
showing
up
and
making
sure
that
our
two
cities
in
Somerville
and
Boston
are
working
very
closely
together.
We
also
have
leaders
from
City
Hall
and
in
the
administration.
E
E
And
shout
out
to
all
of
our
city,
employees
here
I,
think
I,
see
folks
who
are
from
neighborhood
services
from
all
different
departments
from
our
Equity
cabinet.
Thank
you
for
what
you
do.
Okay,
I'm
gonna,
just
I've,
already
shouted
out
enough
people
to
to
take
up
my
time,
but
this
is
the
beauty
of
working
in
Boston.
E
And
feel
like.
Finally,
we
are
seeing
a
little
bit
of
the
representation
in
leadership
catch
up
to
where
the
energy
has
been
in
community
and
on
the
ground
for
a
long
time.
We
know
that
commemorating
25
years
of
international
Women's,
Day
Celebrations
means
that
we
have
to
not
only
look
back
but
look
forward,
and
so
thanks
to
you
and
your
leadership,
we
now
have
a
dedicated
space
to
come
together
and
celebrate
Boston's
women.
E
We
have
a
strong
and
growing
network
of
Trailblazers
and
innovators,
women
with
experience
and
Leadership
and
courage
and
Candor
who
have
fought
battles
not
only
for
themselves
and
this
generation,
but
to
ensure
that
the
next
generation
will
have
fewer
battles
to
fight.
We
have
a
community
one
where
we
don't
need
to
explain
or
Justify
our
presence,
but
where
we
can
count
on
being
supported
and
recognized,
understood,
celebrated
and
inspired
by
each
other.
This
is
a
community
driven
by
a
shared
sense
of
responsibility
to
bring
about
a
brighter
Bolder
and
more
Equitable
future
I.
E
Remember
when
I
first
joined
the
council
that
election
year
in
2013,
we
doubled
the
number
of
women
serving
from
one
to
two
when
I
joined
Ayanna
on
the
council-
and
it
was
always
I-
was
always
described
as
one
of
the
women
counselors
right.
This
term
woman
counselor
was
constantly
being
used
and
even
when
then
counselor,
Sabi,
George
and
councilor
Campbell
were
elected,
and
we
went
from
two
to
four
women.
E
It
was
still
always
what
are
the
women
counselors
working
on
or
doing
I
think
it
was
really
the
next
year
when
we
got
to
six
out
of
13
that
I
I
haven't
really
heard
the
term
woman
counselor
ever
since,
because
it's
just
the
norm
in
Boston
and
the
majority.
In
fact,
we
need
to
get
to
that
past.
Those
tipping
points
past
those
kind
of
boxes
of
well.
E
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
that's
happening.
We
have
some
incredible
progress
and
accomplishments
to
celebrate
on
policy
on
programs
that
Alex
and
her
office
have
been
leading.
We
are
looking
to
ensure
that
in
every
Community
it
is
just
a
guarantee
that
there
will
be
space
for
all
of
us
to
to
Really
ensure
all
of
our
intersectional
identities
are
not
only
part
of
the
conversation
but
leading
it.
So
it
is
a
huge
honor
to
be
here
with
you
happy
International
women's
day
again,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
being
here.
A
Thank
you,
mayor
Wu.
It
is
such
a
treat
to
be
with
you
in
person.
Thank
you
for
coming
now
without
further
Ado
I
am
going
to
welcome
our
moderator,
Karen
homewards,
to
join
us
as
well
as
our
panelists.
We
have
Elena,
surpass
Grace
Sterling,
Stoll
Patricia,
Patricia
Montes
and
am
I
forgetting
one,
or
was
that
all
four?
A
F
Michelle
Wu
I
know
has
a
very
busy
day
today
and
I
just
wanted
us
to
take
a
moment
and
send
her
all
of
the
positive
energy
from
the
women
in
this
room.
F
F
Mayor
Wu
talked
about
being
on
the
city
council
and
being
defined
as
one
of
the
women.
Then
after
there
were
six
women
on
the
console.
The
word
women
was
dropped
from
the
conversation,
but
mayor
Wu
is
walking
right
now
in
the
steps
of
being
the
first
and
the
only
and
all
of
us
in
this
room
know
what
it's
like
to
be
a
powerful
woman
in
the
first
and
the
only
position.
So
we
just
want
to
send
you
our
love
and
support
and
encourage
you
to
fight
the
good
fight.
F
So
just
a
little
bit
of
housekeeping,
you
know
somebody
brought
up
the
sororities
I
am
not
in
either
an
AKA
or
a
Delta
I'm
in
a
sorority
called
me
find
me,
but
since
you
brought
up
Deltas
my
sister-in-law
Elsie
cook
Holmes
is
your
National
president
of
Delta
Sigma
Theta.
F
Okay,
all
right
does
that
get
me
in
today.
Okay,
all
right,
we're
looking
forward
to
this
conversation.
Today
we
have
some
very
esteemed
thought:
leaders
to
join
us
in
this
conversation
about
embracing
Equity
and
I,
am
going
to
encourage
you
to
go
online
and
read
their
bios
they're
so
accomplished.
We
don't
have
time
to
read
all
of
the
things
that
they've
done.
Beth
Chandler
immediately
to
my
left,
joined
the
YW
Boston
in
November,
2012
and
she's.
Doing
excellent
work
carrying
out
the
wise
mission
to
eliminate
racism.
F
And
Grace
Sterling
still
has
been
a
pioneering
activist
and
leader
in
the
lesbian,
gay,
bisexual,
transgender,
queer,
youth,
transgender
and
social
justice
communities
for
over
40
years
welcome
Grace.
F
F
So
to
begin,
I
am
going
to
start
with
Patricia
and
have
you
just
tell
us
in
two
or
three
minutes?
What
makes
you
excited
about
the
work
that
you
do?
What
why
are
you
passionate
about
your
work.
G
I
Believe
In,
Justice
I
grew
up,
but
thank
you
for
the
invitation
and
congratulations
to
all
of
you.
I
grew
up
in
a
very
poor
family
in
Aurora
area
in
Honduras
and
I
think
that
my
passion
is
connected
with
the
suffering
of
the
people,
but
also
with
the
resiliency
of
people
of
color,
particularly
women.
I
grew
up
with
a
lot
of
women
in
the
rural
area.
F
H
Can
you
all
hear
me?
Oh
great,
so
most
people
know
me
as
executive
director
of
Bagley
the
Boston
Alliance
of
lgbtq
Youth,
so
that
has
been
my
work
and
passion
for
the
past
40
plus
years,
I
I
came
to
Bagley,
as
it
was
newly
founded
as
a
young
person
myself
seeking
community
and
I
stayed
to
help
the
organization
grow
and
continue
to
support
young
people
in
in
the
decades
since
I.
H
We
are
facing
a
backlash
that
is
unprecedented
in
scope
and
sophistication,
and
so
what
continues
to
inspire
me,
the
young
people
and
their
passion
and
their
commitment
to
creating
a
world
that
that
is
better
than
the
one
that
I
grew
up
in
and
many
of
us
in
the
room
grew
up
in
and
to
help
move
us
forward.
So
I'm
happy
to
be
here
today.
Thank
you.
I
Can
you
all
hear
me
hi
everyone,
so
I
think
I'm
driven
a
lot
by
the
high
school
I've
grown
up
in
I,
go
to
a
high
school
in
Cambridge
Cambridge
in
Latin,
cambridge's
public
high
school,
okay,
okay
and
I
am
surrounded
by
so
many
young
people
who
are
activists
who
are
organizing,
who
are
creating
spaces
in
our
school
that
not
only
welcome
but
celebrate
and
ingrain
youth
activism
into
the
Fabrics
of
our
school
I
am
so
driven
by
the
the
other
young
people.
I
I
see
around
me
working
to
dismantle
the
systems
of
Oppression
racism,
misogyny
all
of
these
systems,
I'm
driven
by
the
people
in
my
family
and
the
other
leaders
who
are
women
and
community
members
who
have
kind
of
brought
me
into
this
work
and
I
think
just
seeing
all
of
us
working
intergenerationally
to
create
a
better
future
and
one
where
we
all
feel
more
seen
and
more
valued
is
what
drives
me
and
I
am
very
excited
to
be
here
today.
With
all
of
you,
excellent.
J
Do
I
need
to
answer
with
Elena
here,
so
for
those
that
don't
know
me
and
Beth
Chandler
I
use
the
she
series
and
I'm
president
and
CEO
of
YW
Boston.
Our
work
is
to
our
work
is
to
eliminate
racism
and
Empower
women
and
I
am
a
black
woman
who
also
identifies
as
lgbtq
I
have
lived
my
life
with
those
three
marginalized
identities.
J
F
So
we
are
here
in
the
25th
anniversary
of
this
wonderful
International
women's
day,
breakfast
I'd
like
each
of
you
to
Define,
in
your
words,
feminism
and
the
feminist
movement
today,
and
what
you
see
or
what
you
think.
How
do
you
think
that
this
definition
has
differed
from
25
50
even
100
years
ago,
and
and
how
has
it
evolved?
Who
would
like
to
start
with
that
Beth
you.
J
So
it's
a
it's
a
fascinating
question
to
me,
because,
to
be
honest,
I
would
not
have
defined
myself
as
a
feminist.
Quite
honestly
was
a
word:
I
ran
away
from
I
thought
of
women.
Burning,
bras
and
I
grew
up
in
a
family
where
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
money.
So
if
I
burned,
my
bra
I
was
stuck
so
I
just
never.
It
was
not
a
word
for
a
long
time
that
really
felt
inclusive
to
me,
and
there
were
also
you
know:
moments
where
women
of
color
were
involved
in
the
movement.
J
But
then,
when
push
came
to
shove,
they
were
asked
to
sit
down
or
not
join
the
March
or
meetings
were
held
and
they
couldn't
they
had.
They
were
jeopardizing
their
their
families
and
their
livelihood
to
show
up
and,
and
that
wasn't
recognized
so
I
don't
I
struggle
with
defining
feminism
and
the
movement,
because
I
never
really
felt
a
part
of
it.
I
believe
strongly
in
fighting
for
the
rights
of
women
and
those
who
identify
as
women.
That
is
part
of
the
work
that
we
do
at
YW.
J
So,
if
that's
being
a
feminist
and
I
guess
I
am
one
I
think
the
term
has
changed,
or
at
least
my
thinking
of
it
has
changed.
I
think
it
I
think
the
movement
is
becoming
more
inclusive
but
I
I
think
as
Ayanna
shared.
This
is
she's.
This
is
the
first
year
in
25
years
that
we
had
women
of
color
who
were
helping
to
put
the
event
on
I
mean
so
25
years
in
a
city
of
Boston,
where
we
think
we're
very
enlightened
I
mean
that
says
something
right.
J
I
Thank
you,
yeah
I,
remember
one
day
going
to
like
a
club
discussion
that
was
organized
by
students
of
color
at
our
school
and
and
a
lot
of
people
were
talking
about
how
they
didn't
identify
with
the
feminist
movement
and
how
to
them
what
they
were
fighting
for.
It
was
an
action.
It
was
the
action
of
fighting
for
Equity,
of
bringing
other
women
in
and
so
I
think.
To
me,
I
think
about
a
woman
who
are.
F
And
that's
what
feminism
means
to
you.
Thank
you.
As
you
start
your
lifetimes
work,
do
you
feel
that
you
are
a
feminist.
F
I
F
Are
Grace
what
about
the
label
feminism,
feminist
movement?
What
comes
to
mind
when
you
look
at
where
we
are
today
and
looking
back
to
the
beginning
of
it.
H
I'm
old
enough
to
remember
I'm
65
66
this
year
and
so
from
from
the
very
beginning.
It's
a
gender
non-conforming
child
growing
up
in
the
60s
I
I
didn't
have
the
language
that
we
have
now
to
talk
about
my
identity
and
my
experience,
but
I
knew
I
knew
I
didn't
feel
like
a
boy
and
I
most
definitely
knew
I.
H
Would
that
I
wasn't
going
to
grow
up
to
be
a
man
and
so
I
instinctively
identified
and
and
saw
as
Role
Models
women
first
and
foremost
my
mother,
my
grandmother
and
women
that
I
knew
in
in
the
community
and
and
so
for
me.
H
I
had
to
find
sort
of
form
an
identity
with
with
really
no
role
models,
other
other
than
cisgender
women,
and
so
I
I
felt
before
the
label
was
even
there
that
that
I
understood
and
embraced
a
feminist
movement,
but
didn't
know
that
I
I
could
be
part
of
that
as
a
transgender
woman
and
so
and
I
didn't
see
transgender
women
and
certainly
50
plus
years
ago.
You
know
mostly
the
a
visible
representation
with
white
cisgender
heterosexual,
women
of
a
certain
class
level
and
so
Christian
women.
H
You
can
go
through
all
the
Litany
of
who
was
included
in
the
definition
of
women
and
who
was
struggling
to
be
recognized
within
that.
So
I
I
always
had
a
resonance
with
the
feminist
movement
and
the
values
and
saw
in
that
a
reflection
in
some
way
of
my
own
experience
at
the
same
time
that
I
felt
outside
of
that
and
feeling
like
I
needed
to
to
find
community
in
different
ways.
H
So,
yes,
I,
identify
as
a
feminist
and
certainly
Embrace,
and
and
and
feel
it's
important
for
that
definition
to
be
ever
expanding
to
include
all
women.
Excellent.
G
Yes,
I.
Consider
myself
a
feminist
and
I
believe
that
we
need
to
change
the
history
of
that
the
face
of
that
movement
and
every
time
that
I
think
about
that
I.
Think
about
Latin
America,
because
Latina
living
in
the
United
States
I
grew
up
in
Latin
America
I
went
to
school
in
a
in
a
poor
country
in
Central
America.
It's
not
the
same
going
to
you
know
be
important
in
the
United
States
and
that
being
poor
in
a
Latino
country.
G
Fighting
for
for
systemic
changes,
not
just
here
in
the
you
know
in
New
York
right,
but
the
ones
that
were
fighting
in
Latin
America
in
Africa.
In
many
other
countries
that
sometimes
are
invisible
and
I
I'm
100
with
you,
this
movement
is
not
just
white.
It's
smooth.
There
are
many
colors
right
and
we
need
to
change.
G
F
Thank
you,
Patricia
Patricia,
you
have
a
Global
Perspective.
What
do
you
see
as
one
of
the
biggest
successes
of
the
women's
movement.
G
Then
now
I
think
the
intersection
between
Justice
and
between
migration
between
you
know
many
other
issues,
because
women
are
everywhere
right.
We
are
everywhere
and
I
believe
that
working
with
the
new
generations
is
extremely
important,
but
also
learning
from
the
elders,
because
I
don't
like
when
I
see
the
youth
saying.
Oh
we're
going
to
change
the
world.
Yes,
you
will,
but
we
also
need
to
learn
from
many
others
that
have
been
fighting
before
us
and
honor
their
your
legacy.
G
Your
history
and
learn
I
like
reading,
but
I,
also
like
having
conversations
with
other
women
I
would
like
to
know
you
I
would
I
would
like
to
know
your
history.
I
would
like
to
know
why
you're
there
you're
suffering
your
pain
and
build
wishes,
I
would
like
Ashley,
because
I
believe
that
we
all
say.
Oh
you
know,
Boston
is
very
Progressive.
Let
me
tell
you
that
I,
don't
think
that
Boston
is
very
Progressive
right.
Oh,
we
always
said:
oh
Massachusetts
is
the
best
in
the
country.
G
Excuse
me,
but
it's
not,
and
you
know,
I
live
in
East
Boston,
I
work
with
undocumented
women
and
sometimes
I
believe
that
we're
living
in
silos
and
we
have
a
good
understanding
about.
You
know
feminism
many
things,
but
sometimes
that
is
very
elite.
You
know,
and
it's
very
like
coming
from
the
Academia
I'm
sorry
I'm,
not
saying
that
all
the
people
in
Academia
are
like
that.
But
sometimes
you
don't
go
to
the
neighborhoods
right.
Do
you
know
what
is
happening?
Is
Boston?
Sometimes
you
don't
know.
G
Do
you
know
what
is
happening
with
the
women
that
are
coming
to
this
place
to
clean
at
night?
Do
you
know
the
histories,
because
sometimes
our
moment
is
very
elite?
You
know
Ico
you're,
a
professor
you're,
a
student,
but
I,
don't
know
about
Maria
that
is
coming
to
clean
this
building
at
night.
So
I
think
we
need
to
learn
a
lot.
We
need
to
do
more.
F
I
I
Having
listened
to
the
stories
of
my
mom
and
my
BS,
and
my
grandmothers
and
hearing
how
their
experiences
with
similar
systems
and
similar
places
have
all
led
us
to
have
similar
experiences
and
how
we
can
use
that
to
to
try
and
make
a
change
and
to
try
and
try
something
out.
That's
not
the
norm.
That's
not
the
status
quo
and
I
I
loved
what
you
said
about
hearing
everybody's
stories,
not
just
those
who
are
most
visible,
who
are
most
polished,
who
are
at
the
top
by
everyone
across.
H
You
know
I,
think
one
of
the
the
history
of
any
social
justice
movement
is
often
trying
to
secure
basic
legal
protections.
Develop
basic
policies,
support
the
representation
of
members
of
the
community
and
and
part
of
the
success,
is
being
able
to
do
those
things.
But
it's
also
one
of
the
challenges,
because,
unfortunately,
what
often
happens
is
that
the
more
privileged
members
of
that
marginalized
group
are
usually
the
first
folks
to
benefit
they're.
H
Usually
the
folks
who,
who
maybe
get
elected
or
maybe
are
in
that
leadership
role
or
are
put
out
front,
and-
and
so
it's
always
the
challenge
of
any
movement
moving
forward
to
say
who
is
not?
Who
is
still
not
at
the
table
who
have
who's
being
left
behind?
Who
is
not
being
represented?
How
do
we
continue
to
expand
the
movement
to
include
all
the
folks
that
we
say
we're
trying
to
represent
so
I?
H
F
You
I'm
going
to
switch
up,
Beth
and
and
move
to
a
different
question,
a
different
category
which
plays
off
of
what
Grace
just
said.
Women
are
often
competing
against
one
another,
as
we
all
know.
In
fact,
bipoc
women
often
complain
that
they
don't
feel
supported
by
their
white
counterparts.
F
J
It's
thinking
about
who,
how
do
you
look
at
what
the
issues
are
looking
at
some
of
the
data
and
saying
who
really
is
the
most
left
out
by
data
right?
What
is
the
data
saying
and
how
can
we
focus
there
because
I
think
I
believe,
as
you
know,
for
those
that
are
most
marginalized
as
they
get
lifted
up?
Everybody
benefits
right.
J
We
all
win,
because
the
strategies
that
you're
going
to
use
to
help
those
that
are
most
disenfranchised
or
strategy
strategies
that
are
going
to
benefit
everybody,
and
so
really
thinking
about
who
is
the
most
left
out
and
how
do
we
help
them
rise
because
we
will
all
rise,
so
that
to
me
is
is
a
way
to
think
about.
How
do
we
lift
everybody
up?
How
do
we
not
stop?
J
So
how
do
we
stop
fighting
amongst
us
for
the
crumbs,
because
we
shouldn't
be
fighting
for
crumbs
and
that's
what
we're
fighting
for
right
instead
of
thinking
about
what
does
the
whole
loaf
look
like,
and
how
do
we
all
get
the
loaf
we're
like?
Oh
I,
want
my
little
piece
I'm
going
to
fight
really
hard
for
that,
and
we
lose
sight
of
the
big
thing
and
the
big
thing
is:
how
do
we
think
about
what
are
the
issues
that
are
similar
across?
J
F
And
in
terms
of
getting
the
loaf
making
the
loaf
larger,
this
data
tells
the
story.
The
pay
Gap
persists.
According
to
the
U.S
government
accountability
office,
an
article
released
in
December
2022
overall
women
earned
about
82
cents
for
every
dollar
men
earned
Asian
women
earned
85
cents
on
a
dollar.
Black
women
still
earned
61
cents
on
a
dollar,
while
white
women
earned
about
80
cents
on
a
dollar
Hispanic
Latinas
earned
58
cents
on
the
dollar.
How
could
we
better
organize
to
challenge
break
down
this
systemic
racism
that
allows
these
injustices
to
persist?
J
So
you
can
look
at
the
data
in
your
organization
and
are
there
gaps
and
if
they're
gaps,
why
can
you
explain
those
gaps
right
often
it's
that
women
are
in
positions
that
are
often
lower
paid
because
they're
predominantly
women
positions
right
and
so
there's
already
something
built
into
the
system
there
are.
Women
are
sometimes
penalized
when
they
advocate
for
more
money
right.
It's
okay
for
men
to
negotiate
their
salary
and
women
get
penalized
right,
so
their
their
inequities
in
the
system
and
how
we're
supposed
to
be
fighting
for
our
wages
right.
J
So
organizations
can
look
at
their
data,
they
can
say:
hey.
Are
we
seeing
statistical
differences
between
people
by
gender
by
other
identities?
And
if
so,
why
does
that
exist?
And
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
rectify
that?
And
what
are
your
processes
for
promotions
right?
Do
you
have
something
in
inside
your
organization
where
you
can
really
look
at
the
work
that
people
are
doing
and
how
are
they
performing
to
meet
that
work
in
those
goals
and
are
they
being
are
they
advancing?
Because
of
that?
J
Or
is
it
because
they
have
their
friends
with
somebody
and
somebody
like
someone,
so
they
promote
them
right?
How
do
you
institutionalize
some
policies
and
practices
so
they're
applicable
across
the
organization,
regardless
of
how
people
identify
and
that's
going
to
benefit
everybody?
No
one
gets
harmed
by
that
because
it
is
more
fair
because
you're
treating
your
your
you're
paying
people
based
on
their
performance,
not
because
of
who
they
know
and
if
you
like
them,
and
often
men
get
a
benefit
of
having
kids
right.
J
If
you
have
the
data
shows
as
a
man,
if
you
have,
if
you're
a
dad,
then
people
say.
Oh,
my
God
I
have
to
give
you
more
money
because
you're
supporting
a
family
when
women
have
children,
people
say:
oh,
my
God
I
have
to
fire
you
or
put
you
on
the
mommy
track,
because
you're
not
going
to
be
as
committed
because
you're
taking
care
of
your
family
right.
J
So
how
do
we
look
at
that
and
make
sure
those
conversations
aren't
happening
or
when
they
are
that
somebody
interjects
and
says
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
ask
Diane
if
she
wants
this
opportunity
to
for
growth
and
possibly
work
overseas,
because
this
is
time
for
her
to
do
that
and
if
she
wants
to
make
a
different
choice.
That
is
her
choice
to
make,
but
I'm
not
going
to
make
it
for
her
or
I'm
not
going
to
allow
the
boss
to
make
that
for
her
I'm
going
to
let
her
make
her
own
damn
decision
right.
F
Patricia
you
mentioned,
you
know
wondering
about
the
Maria,
the
name
you
picked
the
woman
who
cleans
Simmons
College
overnight,
who
may
not
be
in
the
room
right
now.
How
do
we
help
bipoc
women
meet
challenges
that
they're
facing
at
home
and
and
in
the
workplaces?
How
do
we
help
the
people
like
Maria.
G
Thank
you
for
that
question
because
Maria
is
real
and
she
cleaned
here
by
the
way
I
use
another
name,
but
it's
real
she's,
a
member
and
she
is
very
active,
I-
think
it's
important
to
understand
and
we
need
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
too.
You
know
I'm
not
just
talking
about
this
school,
but
in
general
right
are.
G
We
checking
the
companies
that
are,
you
know,
bringing
people
to
clean
to
us
to
our
schools
right
because
I
think
in
the
case
of
Maria
and
many
others
that
are
living
in
other
universities
and
other
places
they
work
for
a
few
months
and
then
they
they
need
to
go
home
because
the
company
said,
oh,
the
students
are
not
here,
so
you
need
to
go
back
home
and
I'm
going
to
hire
you
again.
So
that's
kind
of
Labor
exploitation.
You
know,
but
anyway,
I
think
that's.
G
This
is
a
systemic
issue
that
we
need
to
resolve
and
I
love.
What
you
were
saying
about
it's
not
about
thinking
about
who
is
going
to
be
more
oppressed
right,
it's
about
working
to
together
to
change
the
system,
but
it
requires
to
build
Bridges.
It
requires
to
have
more
solidarity
among
the
movements,
in
our
case
a
central
presenter,
for
example,
we're
having
conversations
with
people
like
Maria
and
we're
talking
about
transgender
women,
because
when
we
go
to
to
church
in
Latin
America,
they
say.
Oh,
no,
that's
a
pickle.
G
You
can
do
that
right,
so
we
need
to
unlearn
many
things
in
order
to
be
because
otherwise
we're
going
to
be
the
part
of
the
oppressor
too
or
racism
systemic
racism
in
our
countries,
colorism,
oh,
no
black
is
bad.
You
need
to
be
white
because
it's
beautiful,
so
we
need
to
learn
and
all
learn.
All
these.
You
know
systems
of
operations
that
have
been
there
forever
in
our
country,
so
sorry
and
here
in
the
United
States.
So
how
can
we
help
Maria?
Knowing
her
story?
Because
Maria's
story
is
not
unique.
G
What
is
happening
with
Maria
is
happening
with
thousands
of
Central
American
women
on
Latinos
and
black
people
too,
and
we
need
to
learn
from
each
other
I
honor,
I
honor,
the
black
community
in
the
United,
States
and
I.
Always
read
and
I
want
to
learn
about
your
history,
because
I
think
it's
a
very
beautiful
and
painful
history
and
but
I
don't
find
a
spaces.
Where
can
I
go?
G
You
know,
as
a
Latina
to
to
have
a
conversation
with
people
like
you
right,
I
would
like
to
have
a
mentor
like
you,
I
would
love
to,
but
I
think
that
is
for
me.
It's
about
building
solidarity,
it's
about
having
access
to
more
information,
and
it's
also
about
building
the
bridges
right
and
that
that
aspect
of
class
is
in
the
United
States.
G
Oh,
my
goodness,
in
Latin
American
too,
in
the
Latin
American
region
too,
you
know
students,
sometimes
they
don't
feel
comfortable
connected
with
connecting
with
workers,
even
if
they
are
women,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
said
Anna
feminists
think
about
it.
Think
about
it
because,
as
I
said
before,
we
still
live
in
in
our
society.
That
is
very
patriarchal
classes,
and
racism
is
everywhere.
F
H
You
know
one
of
the
things
that
we
talk
about
at
Bagley
with
young
people
and
and
it
it
so
resonated
when
we
talked
about
oppression
Olympics,
it's
the
only
game
that
if
you
win
you
lose
and
so
so
I'm
thinking.
What
is
the
goal
here?
What
and
and
what
does
that
mean?
And
so
yes
I
agree
with
what
Beth
and
others
have
said
around
around
lifting
up
the
most
marginalized,
because
that
helps
all
of
us.
H
The
goal
is
to
help
us
all
win
that
and
and
not
to
leave
anyone
behind
and
so
that
what
we
talk
about
at
Bagley
with
young
people,
which
is
to
say
that
every
single
one
of
us
has
parts
of
our
identities
and
experience
that
that
are
discriminated,
that
where
we
experience
discrimination
and
oppression,
but
also
every
single
one
of
us
have
parts
of
our
identities
and
experience
that
are
more
privileged
and,
and
so
each
of
us
has
the
obligation
to
educate
ourselves,
not
only
about
where,
where
we
experience
discrimination,
oppression
but
but
about
our
privilege
and
are
we
actively
allying
are
we?
H
Are
we
looking
at
the
dimensions
of
privilege
and
allying
with
other
communities
in
service
of
that
and
not
just
focusing
on?
And
this
is
what
I
need
from
you
all
around
what
I'm
experienced
in
terms
of
Oppression,
and
so,
if
we're
all
doing
that,
then
it
shifts
the
focus
from
from
pointing
fingers
at
others
or
trying
to
be
in
a
certain
position
in
relation
to
others
and
say
we
all
have
work
to
do
and
we
all
and
we
all
need
to
work
together
collectively
and
I,
really
appreciate
the
conversation
around
data.
H
You
know
until
recently
we
had
very
little
data
and
it's
still
relatively
recently
around
gay
lesbian,
bisexual
identities
and
communities
and
experience,
there's
still
more
research
to
be
done.
There's
absolutely
not
enough
data
on
transgender
transgender
people,
especially
transgender
women.
So
we
don't
even
have
the
statistics
except
we
know.
We
know
that
transgender
people
aren't
especially
trans
women
and
even
more
especially
trans
women
of
color
are
increased
risk
for
violence
in
every
form
of
discrimination.
H
So
some
might
say
that
if
we're
really
focusing
on
trans
women,
men
of
color
or
a
queer
who
are
economically
challenged,
who
are
not?
Who
are
not
citizens
of
this
country
who
are
neurodivergent?
Who
are
who
are
experienced
that
we
could
go
on
if
we
are
focusing
on
what
works
for
that
Community,
then
that
will
help
all
of
us.
F
Thank
you
Elena.
How
can
we
support
the
emergence
of
more
young
women
leaders
at
all
levels
of
society?
Leaders
like
you.
I
I
I
go
back
to
mentorship
about
what
it
looks
like
to
have
somebody
who
who
shares
an
identity
with
you
bring
you
into
this
work.
I
think
that
was
the
case
for
me
several
times
and
I
I
had
a
mentor.
I'll,
never
forget
her.
She
told
me
she,
it
was
I,
think
a
quote
from
an
old
South
African
proverb
that
basically
said:
don't
help.
K
I
Don't
don't
fight
for
me
because
you
want
to
help
me
or
because
you
want
to
save
me
fight
for
me,
because
my
Liberation
is
bound
with
yours
and
I.
Think
yeah.
It
resonated
with
me
and
I
think
that
creating
mentorship
where
the
objective
is
like,
like
the
other
panelists,
have
said
working
for
that
Liberation
that
works
for
for
not
just
the
people
at
the
top,
but
the
people
who
are
at
the
intersections
of
a
lot
of
identities
so
mentorship.
I
It's
thinking,
intersectionally
intersectionally,
and
it's
also
just
trying
it
out
like
we're
doing
here
today
we're
trying
something
out
today
we're
coming
together
and
and
we're
talking
about
the
ideas
we
have
for
the
future
for
the
future
generations
and
I.
Think
that's
I,
think
that's
radical
I
think
that's
awesome
and
it's
good
that
we're
trying.
F
I
Friends,
support
each
other,
I
think
I,
I
love
like
sharing
like
experiences
and
just
tips.
It
can
be
great
to
to
just
have
conversations
I
think
we
could.
We
keep
coming
back
to
like
what
it's
like
to
to
listen
and
to
meet
somebody
new
to
introduce
ourselves
to
each
other
with
our
stories,
with
our
goals
and
and
with
what
we
want
to
do
and
connecting
I
think
that
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
we're
connecting
with
each
other
and
there's
immense
immense
power
in
that
great.
F
Great
great
Beth,
you
alluded
to
this.
Women
primarily
play
the
role
of
caregivers
to
their
parents
and
children,
while
at
the
same
time
balancing
the
demands
of
their
work,
life
and
there's.
As
we've
already
mentioned,
unequal
distribution
of
household
Labor,
it's
kind
of
still
the
norm
as
it
was
25
years
ago.
You
know
I,
think
women
are
taking
care
of
the
kids
cleaning
the
house
getting
people
to
soccer.
F
You
know
I'm
making
somewhat
of
a
stereotype,
but
you
understand
what
my
point
here:
burnout
and
mental
health
challenges
have
skyrocketed
in
recent
years.
How
can
we
better
challenge
the
power
structures
within
the
political,
economic
and
social
Arenas
to
help
women
meet
these
challenges
or
change
the
balance
of
the
challenges
that
we
face.
J
It's
a
great
question:
I,
don't
know
if
I
have
an
answer.
I
have
thoughts,
though
I
think
one
is
to
get
rid
of
busyness.
We
are
a
society
that
values
being
busy
right
and
you
ask
people:
how
are
you
busy,
oh
I'm,
busy,
and
then
people
think
oh
wow,
that's
great
you're
busy,
but
it's
not
about
being
busy
right.
I
can
be
busy
and
get
nothing
done.
J
So
it's
really
about
being
far
more
intentional
and
I
think
as
employers.
We
can
focus
on
what
are
the
outcomes?
I
need
you
to
do
in
your
job
and
I'm
not
going
to
care
as
much
about
if
you
do
it
nine
to
five
or
five
to
nine,
like
whatever
works
for
you,
if
we're
clear
on
the
outcomes,
if
you
can
work
with
the
people
you
need
to
within
the
org
within
your
schedule,
then
go
forth
and
do
right.
J
So
I
think
that
can
help
provide
people
with
a
little
more
flexibility
to
get
things
done
when
they
can
get
things
done
and
not
worry
about
having
to
just
look
busy,
because
it
looks
good
because
it
doesn't
actually
do
anything
but
make
people
exhausted
and
it
doesn't
push
the
work
forward.
I
think
the
other
thing
is
we,
as
a
country
need
to
find
find
ways
to
create
to
support
more
mental
health
workers.
J
We
have
a
lack
of
people
in
the
field
and
part
of
that
might
be
because
we
don't
pay
them
well
right,
but
they
are
extraordinarily
important
and
I.
Think
all
age
groups
are
showing
increased
stress
and
and
mental
health
needs,
and
particularly
young
people.
We
don't
have
enough
people
to
support
that,
so
I
think
also
figuring
out
as
a
society.
How
do
we
value
that
work?
And
how
do
we
pay
people?
J
J
So
those
are
just
some
ideas
on
how
we
can
support
people
to
have
the
flexibility
that
they
need
to
get
the
support
that
they
need
and
the
challenges
that
they're
having
around
and
and
hopefully
if
people
are
feeling
supported.
If
people
are
feeling
they
can
do
the
work
that
they
need
to
do
in
the
way
that
they
need
to
deal
with
it.
That
will
reduce
some
of
the
the
mental
stresses
that
folks
are
feeling
I.
F
Grace
you
spoke
about
this
earlier,
but
I
ask
you
just
to
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
on
it.
In
what
ways
has
the
gender
expansive
definition
of
women
benefited
the
movement
for
gender
equality.
H
You
know
this
is
such
an
important
point,
because
you
know
the
the
more
the
more
we're
able
to
expand
the
definition
of
women
to
include
all
women
and
I
I
was
part
of
a
conversation
a
few
decades
back
where,
where
there
was
a,
it
was
a
group
of
cisgender
women
talking
about
the
beginnings
of
sort
of
what
it
would
look
like
for
Trans
inclusion
in
the
programs
that
they
were
running
and
and
wait.
H
We
had
to
sort
of
get
past
the
notion
that
somehow
trans
women
are
not
women
and
and
that
trans
women
weren't
being
added
on
it
was.
It
was
recognizing
that
women
is
a
much
broader
term
and
refers
to
a
much
broader
group
of
people
than
simply
cisgender
white
heterosexual
women
of
a
certain
class,
as
as,
as
as
as
it
had
often
been
advocated
for
and
and
it
benefits.
We've
said
before.
H
It
always
benefits
to
have
the
the
fullest
representation
in
the
room
to
to
benefit
from
the
expertise
and
ideas
and
energy
and
passions
of
of
the
whole
Community,
all
all
in
service
of
making
sure
that
no
one
is
Left
Behind,
and
so
it
benefits
the
individuals.
It
benefits
the
movement
and
the
intersections
you
know
we
all
we
have
to
do
is
recognize
that
that
all
that
bodily
autonomy
is
is
a
women's
issue.
H
It's
a
transgender
issue,
it's
an
issue
facing
for
so
many
communities
in
so
many
ways,
and
so
one
of
the
challenges
is
that
many
of
our
movements,
not
just
the
women's
movement,
have
got
their
start
in
a
narrow
way
and
we
become
siled.
So
we're
we're
saying.
Oh,
that's,
that's
a
women's
issue.
That's
that's
a
race
issue.
That's
a
gender
issue!
That's
a
class
issue,
that's
an
immigrant
issue
and
or
a
youth
issue,
or
an
elder
issue
and
saying
no,
that's
all
of
these
issues
impact
all
of
us
in
many
different
ways.
H
If
only
we
do
the
work
to
figure
that
out.
So
as
trans
people
are,
the
bands
on
Trent
gender,
affirming
care
that
are
being
enacted
in
States
across
the
country
is.
Is
that
relate
that's
a
women's
issue?
It's
also
relates
to
the
issue
of
bodily
autonomy
and
Roe
v
Wade.
It's
it's
all
of
these
are
connected.
C
Right,
thanks
to
the
folks
online,
definitely
have
some
claps
in
the
chat
for
the
words
that
you've
shared
with
us
today.
So
this
question
is
from
Erica.
She
would
love
to
learn
more
about
feminine
feminism
and
feminists
across
the
globe
would
like
to
know
across
the
panel.
Do
you
have
any
recommendations
for
resources
podcasts,
anything
for
folks
who
want
to
kind
of
learn
more
about
feminism
across
the
world.
G
I
have
recommendations.
Of
course
there
are
from
the
Latino
community
and
Central
America
is
a
really
good
podcast
for
young
people
and
I
love
them
it's
in
Spanish,
but
you
can
create
your
own
in
English.
We
need
more
alternative
media
and
your
net.
Your
experts
on
that
I
actually
need
a
training,
but
I
believe
that
also
somos.
Muchas
is
a
very
important
organization
led
by
young
people
in
Honduras.
They
are
doing
a
lot
of
work
in
around
all
these
issues
and
I
think
it's
important
to
support
them.
Talking
about
alternative
media.
G
That's
another
issue
that
is
very
important
for
us,
because
sometimes
they,
the
media
is
not
necessarily,
you
know
sending
the
message
that
is
coming
from
the
people
right
so
building
our
own
alternative
media
is
also
important.
I.
Think
it's
a
very
revolutionary
to
create
our
own
channels
of
community
education
is
very
important
right
to
challenge
this
system
and
to
create
our
own
messages.
G
Yeah,
that's
the
recommendation
that
I
have,
but
I
also
want
to
say
something
that
is
not
connected
with
that
question.
Actually,
because
I
don't
know
what
time
are
we
finishing
this
panel.
G
Oh
a
few
moments
so
I
have
an
announcement
if
I
can
sure
I
have
actually
another
Maria
here,
but
she's
not
Maria.
Her
name
is
Catherine
Catherine
having
acted
with
Central
for
the
past
six
months,
and
we
have
a
campaign
because
catering
like
and
many
how
many
10
other
Central
American
women
were
discriminated
against
at
the
East
Boston
Neighborhood,
Center
and
catering
is
now
an
activist
defending
her
rights,
and
she
is
suspending
today
International
women's
day
with
us,
the
entire
day
with
Central
present
and
she's.
Here,
Catherine,
please,
and
today
we
have
an
action.
G
We
have
an
action
today
at
noon
in
East
Boston,
and
we
also
have
a
community
gathering
at
6
pm.
Just
go
to
your
phone
look
for
our
organization
and
share
it.
That's
an
action
that
you
can
do
today
to
support
the
struggle
of
these
10
Central
American
women
that
were
discriminated
at
the
East
Boston
University
Center.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Patricia.
F
Anybody
else
on
the
panel
have
a
resource,
a
podcast,
a
book,
something
you'd
like
to
recommend
in
response
to
the
question
we
just
had:
yes,
not.
H
So
much
a
specific
reference,
but
just
a
practice
that,
as
you're
looking
for
resources,
make
sure
you
you
work
to
vet
them
and
make
sure
that
they're
intersectional
in
their
approach
who's
in
leadership.
What
communities
are
there
connecting
to
to
what?
What
what's
their
focus?
If
it
looks
single
issue
or
siled,
stay
clear
if
it
looks
like
it's
a
it's
an
organization
or
movement
that
is
representing
the
broadest
representation,
then
then
look
into
that
further
and.
C
C
Yes,
the
next
virtual
question
is
from
Dr
Karen.
How
are
some
women
coping
with
stress
coming
back
into
the
workplace
after
Cove
head,
while
you
Ponder
on
that
I'm
just
going
to
also
say
we
are
taking
one
or
two
questions
from
the
audience?
That's
here.
So
if
you
do
have
a
question
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand
we'll
bring
a
mic
to
you
for
the
next
one.
J
I
mean
I
I,
think
women,
many
women
are
struggling
with.
How
are
they
coming
back
to
work,
particularly
if
it's
in
the
office
after
covid
and
I,
think
it
depends
on
for
many
women
who
are
in
more
white-collar
jobs?
It
might
be
a
little
easier
to
go
back,
I
think
for
many
women
who
are
in
Blue
Collar
jobs
or
hourly
workers.
They
never
left
the
office
like
they
had
to
be
in
and
I,
don't
think.
J
We
often
recognize
just
the
toll
that
that
put
on
those
women
and
often
those
women
are
living
and
we're
and
still
are
living
paycheck
to
paycheck,
and
they
had
no
choice.
They
were
putting
themselves
at
the
greatest
risk
for
all
of
us
and
they
were
not
even
comp.
They
weren't
compensated
for
it
and
still
aren't
compensated
for
it.
So
I
think,
depending
on
where
a
person
sits
in
sort
of
the
organization
how
they're
dealing
with
coming
back
one,
they
may
have
already
been
back
and
never
left
two.
J
They
may
have
the
flexibility
to
still
you
know.
Work
covet
that
worked
with
remotely
hybrid
I
think
it
all
depends.
I
think
everybody
is
struggling
with
the
mental
toll
that
this
time
has
has
been
taking
on
people
and
I.
Think
again,
depending
on
your
resources,
your
organization,
there
may
be
more
resources
available
to
help
people
through
that
some
organizations
are
able
to
have
health
care
where
they
can
help
people
access,
mental
health
supports
and
other
people
can't
and
I.
Think
again
that
that's
something
that
organizations
need
to
be
really
mindful
of
and
thinking
about.
J
J
You
know
on
Fridays
that
there
are
no
meetings
right,
no
meeting
Fridays
and
that
might
help
to
take
some
burdens
off
I
think
there
are
some
low
lift
things
that
aren't
going
to
be
financially
burdensome
for
organizations
to
think
about
to
be
more
intentional
to
help
employees
address
some
of
the
mental
health
just
fatigue
and
challenges
they're
facing.
Thank
you.
K
Good
morning,
sisters,
why
are
you
guys
being
so
shy,
since
you
were
shy?
I
have
a
question
that
sorry
go
over
this
way,
so
you,
ladies,
can
see
me
so.
My
question
is
a
deep
question:
what
are
your
thoughts
about
feminine
rivalry?
I
see
a
room
full
of
strong
women
in
here
and
I
just
want
to
bring
that
to
out
into
the
atmosphere.
What
are
your
thoughts?
What
are
you?
What
can
you
suggest?
How
can
we
all
deal
with
feminine
rivalry.
F
Who
wants
to
start
that
response
little
little
player,
hating
Between
Women
little
snip
snip
snip
little?
How
come
she
got
it
and
I
didn't
all
that
little
stuff.
H
F
H
Personally,
I've
tried
to
get
to
know
that
person
to
try
to
on
a
one-to-one
level
so
that
I'm
not
just
a
nameless,
faceless
person
and
and
understand
what
was
important
to
them
and
is
important
to
them
and
a
little
bit
about
their
struggle
and
hopefully
share
a
bit
about
mine
and
and
and
if
we
can
get
that
far.
Hopefully,.
G
H
G
Very
hard,
but
I
will
be
50
next
year
and
I'm
like
I,
am
not
in
high
school
anymore.
You
know
to
be
competing
and
I'm
I
mean
I,
respect
girls
that
are
going
to
high
school.
Don't
take
me
wrong,
but
the
thing
is:
that's
also
violence
against
us
and
it's
because
the
economic
system
that
we
have
is
always
always
putting
us
to
compete.
G
Oh
you
know
your
hair
you're,
like
that's
I,
don't
want
to
say
the
valve
War,
but
I
believe
that
that's
why
you
know
we.
We
need
to
be
competing
each
other
all
the
time
and
that's
because
the
system
is
putting
us
to
do
that
and
we
we
need
to
try
to
work
together
in
order
to
deconstruct
that,
because
that's
capitalism
that
is
telling
us
every
single
day
that
we
need
to
be
better.
That
we
need
to
be
this.
We
need
to
be
that
no
just
the
contract
that
we
all
are
beautiful.
G
We
all
can
give
something
different
to
the
movement
to
your
family,
to
your
work,
to
everything
right.
So
you
know
we
as
a
Latina.
Oh
you
have
to
be
this.
You
have
to
be
skinny,
you
have
to
be
that
no
I
celebrate
All
of
You
Even.
If
you
have
you
know
whatever
you
want
to
wear
it
whatever
you
want
the
color
everything
we
all
are
beautiful.
F
I
Well,
I'm
grateful
for
the
question
and
I
think
it's
a
really
good
one
I
even
already
you
know
the
competition
is
exhausting,
it
doesn't
feel
good
to
compete.
It
doesn't
make
me
feel
good
and
I
think
that
sometimes
it
might
come
from
like
there
have
been
times
even
me,
like
I
notice,
another
woman
got
like
a
role.
She
had
a
win
and
I
think
not
yay.
Not
oh
I
want
to
celebrate
this
person,
but
oh
there
goes
my
spot
and
I
think
the
issue
is
the
spots.
I
The
issue
is
competing
for
crumbs,
like
we
talked
about
and
I
think
the
question
what
it,
what
do
I
do.
What
helps
me?
Maybe
thinking
like
I,
don't
want
to
compete
for
a
crumb.
I,
don't
want
to
compete
for
a
small
small
spot.
I
want
to
compete
for
the
whole
loaf.
I
want
to
compete
for
something
bigger,
and
maybe
that
competition
isn't
competition.
I
J
I
mean
I
agree
with
all
of
my
panelists
I
believe
it's
the
system
that
forces
us
to
to
think
very
narrowly
about
what
what
the
possibilities
are
and
that
there
are
only
a
few
crumbs
or
seats
at
the
table,
so
we
have
to
fight
each
other
for
it.
That's
what
the
system
wants
us
to
do
and
so
I
think
we
have
to
and
that's
part
of
yw's
work
is.
J
We
know
that
everybody,
the
people
are
qualified
and
it's
the
organizations
that
don't
set
people
up
for
success,
and
so
our
focus
is:
how
do
we
change
the
organizations?
How
do
we
change
the
system
so
that
everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
be
successful
because
everybody
brings
the
skills
already
to
the
table?
So
that's
how
I
think
of
it
and
I
don't
take
it
personally.
When
somebody
comes
after
me,
I've
got
kids,
I
got
teenagers,
I
mean
I,
got
people
going
after
me
all
day.
I
don't
have
enough
time
for
that.
Okay,.
F
All
right,
I
want
to
thank
our
panelists
today
and
I
want
to
thank.
A
Oh
take
a
deep
breath.
Let
all
of
that
incredible
wisdom
sink
in
our
movement
is
intersectional.
Our
movement
is
intergenerational.
Our
movement
is
getting
bigger
day
by
day
and
I
hope
that
we
all
learn
something
about
how
we
can
all
work
together
to
build
on
the
work.
That's
been
growing
for
more
than
25
years,
but
25
years
in
this
breakfast
space
together,
so
another
huge
round
of
applause
for
our
moderator,
Karen
and
our
panelists.
A
A
A
We
also
want
you
to
get
involved
with
our
planning
committee
organizations,
and
so
you
can
learn
more
about
them
by
reading
on
the
virtual
program
or
we've
got
a
couple
of
tables
on
the
back
with
takeaways,
so
you
can
sign
up
get
more
involved
because
we
all
know
this
is
a
365
day.
Work
that
we're
doing
here.
C
I
just
have
to
Exhale
right,
I
love
that
you
know
it's
like
we're
not
in
high
school
anymore,
I
mean
not
all
of
us,
not
all
of
us,
and
we
definitely
have
things
to
do
right
so
I'm,
just
still
taking
in
all
of
the
the
love
and
the
wisdom.
That's
been
in
this
room
and
I
really
appreciate
everyone
fellowshipping
with
each
other,
I
see
so
many
happy
faces,
and
that
and
that
in
putting
this
all
together,
that's
like
the
goal.
That
was
that's
it
for
me.
C
C
Coming
together
out
of
out
of
covid,
we
received
the
Baton
from
some
great
great
co-chairs
from
before
us,
so
for
one
I
definitely
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Jill
Ashton,
so
I
know
she's
here
today,
as
one
of
the
one
of
the
two
that
we
received,
the
Baton
from
so
I
know
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
create
more
inclusive
space
for
all
of
us,
so
Jill.
C
Thank
you
for
giving
us
as
much
institutional
Knowledge
from
the
transition
coming
and
supporting
us
through
the
calls
and
the
planning
and
showing
up
today,
you've
been
very
encouraging
very
great
to
learn
from
because
I
the
way
she
ran
a
meeting
I
was
like
okay,
I
I
can,
if
she
can
do
this,
I
can
do
this.
She
inspired
me
so
I
just
wanted
to
definitely
give
you
your
flowers
here.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
supporting
us.
So
thank
you.
