How do you really know what it’s like to work at a company? Sure they have great DEI initiatives splashing across their careers page, but are they really doing the work?

The largest community for women whose mission is to improve the workplace through greater transparency. Get the real skinny on a company’s culture, get actionable tips on how to negotiate or navigate your career and most importantly, find a safe, supportive and anonymous community to be with you every step of your career-way. Romy Newman, co-founder of Fairygodboss, joins us to share her professional and personal background, her career journey from marketing lipstick to upholding democracy, the understanding of how isolating it can be as women rise to higher positions within their career and yes, at one point this lady full on made me cry.
