REIMAGINED: A VIRTUAL SPEAKER SERIES
July 6: American Lawyer and CEO Time's Up Tina Tchen
|
Celebrate the power and resilience of women when the EBWC series continues with two powerhouse speakers who share their inspiring stories of social activism.
In her book Time Undercover, Amaryllis Fox reveals what it was like to live in "the most dangerous places the planet has to offer" as a spy. Last year, she teamed up with Netflix to create the groundbreaking documentary, The War on Drugs.
Once the Assistant to President Obama and Chief of Staff to First Lady Michelle Obama, Tina Tchen now serves as the CEO of Time's Up, focused on achieving justice for women through legal activism.
Don't miss the chance to engage with these incredible women.
