In this electrifying episode of Thriving in Intersectionality, host Lola Adeyemo welcomes Saundra Pelletier, a powerhouse in women's health innovation and a fierce advocate for women's empowerment. As CEO, President, and Interim Chair of Evofem Biosciences, Saundra shares her journey from a one-room apartment on welfare in Maine to revolutionizing women's reproductive health – all while navigating a cancer diagnosis, single motherhood, and corporate leadership. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How to advocate for yourself professionally without diminishing your value Why women should never start from a position of weakness when seeking feedback The transformative power of focusing on your strengths rather than obsessing over weaknesses How personal challenges can redirect your purpose and amplify your advocacy The importance of deciding "whose opinion matters" in your career advancement Why the "adherence quotient" (focus + confidence + passion) is essential for success About Our Guest Saundra Pelletier is the Interim Chair, CEO, President, and Executive Director of Evofem Biosciences, a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to addressing unmet needs in women's sexual and reproductive health. Under her leadership, Evofem launched Phexxi in 2020, the first and only hormone-free, on-demand prescription birth control in the United States. In 2024, the company expanded its portfolio with SOLOSEC, an FDA-approved treatment for common vaginal infections. With over 25 years of executive leadership experience, Saundra has driven multiple billion-dollar product launches, expanded commercial capabilities globally, and consistently advocated for women's health. She was previously the founding CEO of Woman Care Global, where she secured $68 million in funding to deliver healthcare products to women in over 100 developing countries. Saundra's accolades include the Health and Human Services Award from the California State Assembly, San Diego Magazine's Woman of the Year, the Lifetime Legacy Award from the National Women of Influence, and inclusion in Inc. Magazine's Female Founders 100 List. Key Insights for Professional Women: "Start at the Top of the Ladder" Saundra offers a revolutionary approach to seeking professional feedback: "Never admit weakness, because you will be pounced on and taken advantage of." Instead, start from a position of strength by acknowledging what you do well, then ask how you could "over-deliver." This framing protects you while still allowing for growth. "Always start with 'here's what I know I do well, and here's what I know I'm contributing,' but I'd love to be able to over-deliver. Never give them a chance to turn the knife, because you've already said, 'Oh, I'm amazing. What could I do to be super-fragilistic?'" The Adherence Quotient for Career Success Saundra shares a powerful formula that has guided her for 25 years: focus × confidence × passion = success. She emphasizes that all three elements must be present: "Focus means you have to know exactly what you want. You have to repeat it to yourself. You have to write it down. Confidence is, if you don't have the skills to get it right now, you get those skills. And passion is you have to love it in a way that when everybody tells you no and all the haters and negative naysayers, you just have Teflon." Understanding the Difference Between Humility and Inferiority Channeling wisdom from her mother, Saundra highlights the critical distinction between being humble and feeling inferior: "Understand the difference between humility and inferiority. One will nurture your self-esteem and the other will destroy it." Creating Your Own Table When You Can't Find One Drawing from her experience as a woman leader in male-dominated industries, Saundra emphasizes the importance of creating your own opportunities rather than waiting for them: "I couldn't find the ladder. They say, climb the corporate ladder. I could never find the ladder period. I didn't even know where to access the ladder... If you can't find the table, if you can't find the ladder, then create your own." How Cancer Transformed Her Advocacy Following her cancer diagnosis and treatment, Saundra's passion for women's health innovation intensified exponentially. She explains how this personal challenge redirected her purpose: "It changed me in a way that I will never be the same again... After my diagnosis, oh my goodness, I became so loud and proud, you would have thought my mouth was a megaphone... I'm a different mom, I'm a different woman, I'm a different leader of this company because of cancer." Phexxi: Revolutionizing Women's Reproductive Health Saundra passionately discusses Evofem's groundbreaking product, Phexxi, the first innovation in non-hormonal birth control since 1960. This FDA-approved, on-demand contraceptive works by maintaining a woman's natural vaginal pH, making it inhospitable to sperm without systemic hormones or side effects. The product is particularly valuable for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormonal contraceptives, including cancer survivors, breastfeeding mothers, and those on medications that interact with hormonal birth control. "Women don't have sex every day... Women deserve to have a product that they use only when they need it, whenever, when they don't just like men have had condoms."

Keir Starmer has promised to introduce legislation to parliament – before this April's anniversary of the Hillsborough football stadium disaster – that would extend a statutory duty of candour to public authorities and officials. Starmer hopes that the new Hillsborough law, which will require government organisations and officials to be truthful and to proactively co-operate with investigations and inquiries, will “address the unacceptable defensive culture prevalent across too much of the public sector” exposed in the Infected Blood, Post Office Horizon and too many other inquiries. But how widely will the duty be applied? How can it work alongside other statutory duties such as in the civil service code? What lessons can be taken from the legal duty of candour that has existed, with mixed effect, in the NHS for over 10 years? To discuss these outstanding questions about the scope and remit of the proposed legislation, and explore how this new duty of candour could help embed a culture of transparency from SW1 to the frontline, we were joined by an expert panel: Sir Robert Francis KC, Interim Chair of the Infected Blood Compensation Authority Liz Gardiner, CEO of Protect Pete Weatherby KC, Director of Hillsborough Law Now Campaign The event was chaired by Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

How can we lead authentically within a white dominant culture? For this Women of Color Rise podcast, Analiza talks with Arva Rice, CEO of New York Urban League (NYUL). Arva shares her journey beginning with her parents as sharecroppers in Arkansas. Her parents dreamed of a better life for their family and moved to Chicago, then Milwaukee. Arva and her siblings all went to college, with Arva attending Northwestern. A professor asked Arva, “How did you get into Northwestern?” Fighting off tears, Arva used this experience to motivate her, graduating with honors. Arva took on her mother's advice to, “Leave the door open for the next person” and dedicated her life to service. As a three-time CEO, Arva currently leads NYUL and their mission of enabling African Americans and other underserved communities to secure a first-class education, economic self-reliance and equal respect of their civil rights through programs, services and advocacy. Arva shares how she has learned to “dance” in her leadership, staying authentic to herself in a white dominant culture. Shed the belief that white is better and you are not enough. Arva prays and relies on affirmations which begin with, “I am God's daughter…” Also, remember where you've been and what you've accomplished. Not just the tribulations but the trials too. Reflect on where you were one year ago, five years ago, ten years ago. Consider a person you admire. Know that they too have shed tears. Know that even in white spaces, you can decide what feedback to accept or reject. Even with African American donors, board, volunteers, white supremacy still exists because the standard is still the white standard. Arva shares an example of being given feedback by a white CEO mentor that her passion was not sufficient and needed to be followed by statistics. While Arva did not agree with his viewpoint, she thought it was helpful to get a different perspective from a white leader. Arva saw how this could be helpful when deciding to form partnerships or fundraising with other white leaders. Be aware of decision rights. Arva was nominated by Mayor Eric Adams as Interim Chair of the Civilian Complaint Review Board. In this role, Arva leads the board to “police the police” on behalf of the public. At the same time, while the board will give recommendations, ultimately, the decision is with the New York City Police Commissioner.

Better use of data is key to more effective government. Across government, teams are doing fascinating work with data. But those projects don't get the attention they deserve. Data Bites aims to change that. Our latest event, the 37th in our series, was a social mobility special. The Social Mobility Commission presented its new report on data gaps across government and the impact that has on its work, complemented by other speakers on social mobility and missing data. Each speaker has eight minutes, followed by eight minutes of questions from the audience. This month's speakers were: Oliver Anderson, Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) Strategic Analysis Lead at the Department for Education, on post-16 education and labour market activities and outcomes Alun Francis OBE, Interim Chair of the Social Mobility Commission (SMC) and Principal and Chief Executive of Oldham College, on the SMC's recently published data gaps report Michael Pandazis, Head of Evidence for the Social Mobility Commission, on the data gaps impacting the SMC's annual State of the Nation report Anna Powell-Smith, Director of the Centre for Public Data, with an update on their Missing Numbers work. The event was chaired by Gavin Freeguard, Associate at the Institute for Government.
