We must put women at the center of the recovery from the pandemic. Not to do so would be to roll back a decade of progress toward gender and racial parity in leadership while costing organizations the investments they have made in advancing gender diversity in their leadership. Works like The Rosenzweig Report are signposts warning us that real and lasting economic recovery must include...

As an ‘optimism advocate,’ I was immediately drawn to Jay Rosenzweig’s optimistic outlook on diversity and gender equality. In the face of statistical imbalance found in the 16th annual Rosenzweig Report, Jay opts to point out things like ‘the good news is the number has doubled’ and that he’ll keep publishing as long as it takes to ‘work myself out of a job.’ He always sees the...

When my family arrived in Canada in the 1960s, so full of hope, segregation was still a reality south of the border, and Martin Luther King had not yet shared his dream with the world at the March on Washington. My mother could not have imagined then that her daughter would one day be elected to lead a federal party.

In the business of gaming, half of the gamers represented are women and yet the industry and its infrastructure are dominated by men, just like the corporate world. Our goal is to build a group of women gamers, dubbed Queens, and propel them into a more powerful group of influencers and media celebrities. Culture can’t evolve in silos and we cannot change the narrative and...
