In this special episode, taped live at SXSW EDU in Austin, Texas in March, we discuss how schools are bullying young sexual assault accusers into waiving their rights during school investigations into what happened to them. Title IX is supposed to protect students who allege sexual assault, but some schools are requiring their silence, and threatening discipline if they don't comply. It runs afoul of the law, many experts say, and led attorney Laura Dunn and the non-profit Equal Rights Advocates to pen a letter to the U.S. Department of Education, trying to get the Biden Administration to stop this practice from continuing. Host: Sara Ganim. Guests: Laura Dunn, Kel O'Hara.   

Politicians who had the opportunity to codify Roe v. Wade into law are now playing shock at the leaked Supreme Court decision. Meanwhile, Justice Alito is too scared to show his face in public. Action, and inaction, has consequences. Noreen Farrell, Executive Director of Equal Rights Advocates, discusses the immediate and longterm consequences of overturning Roe.

In this episode… When someone is looking to go into business or is considering taking up a new leadership position, most people tend to wait too long because they want to feel that they’re ready before taking the plunge. The thing is, there is never a “perfect time” to take that leap because all you really need is to have courage. In every situation or circumstance, there is always a decision to be made. And if that decision can be made quicker, it can help propel people forward to where they want and need to go. Staying focused on your story and your path are also crucial in making your success into a reality. It is also important to be focused and own your story and path. Sarah Nichols, Founder of Nichols Law P.C., is Andrea Heuston's guest in this week's episode of Lead Like a Woman, where she talks about the importance of women taking the leap in their careers and not waiting for the perfect time.

On this episode, our guest is Tammy Cho, co-founder of BetterBrave--an online site that combats sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation in the workplace by empowering targets and allies with the necessary resources and tools.  BetterBrave offers options for women to report harassment and provides a clear outline of their rights. Users can also access BetterBrave's guide to learn steps to take before reporting an incident to HR and the importance of consulting an employment attorney as soon as possible to guide the response for optimal job protection.   In our conversation with Tammy, we address the culture of sexual harassment in the workplace, the risks and harms from reporting harassment and discrimination, and the tools that BetterBrave offers employees to empower them to speak out while reducing the possibility of retaliation.  We also speak with Tammy about how we, as individuals, can do more to nurture a workplace culture that incentivizes equal treatment, respect, and accountability. During our interview, Tammy and I referenced the below resources: Former Uber employee and whistleblower, Susan Fowler's blog post about her experience at Uber Forbes article: Uber Whistleblower Susan Fowler On What Every Company Should Do To Stop Harassment Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that protected against workplace discrimination The Ledbetter v.
