In 2019, women earn .79 cents for every dollar a man makes. Though we can attribute the gender pay gap to several factors including occupational segregation, bias against working mothers, and circumstances like racial bias, disability, and access to education, there’s no denying numbers and that we still have a lot of work to do to create an even playing field.
On today’s episode, I am thrilled to have a woman and mother who has been an advocate for closing the gender gap throughout her career.
Reshma Saujani is the Founder and CEO of Girls Who Code, the international nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in tech and change the image of what a computer programmer looks like and does. It has reached 185,000 girls in all 50 states, Canada, and the UK. In 2019, Girls Who Code was awarded Most Innovative Non-Profit by Fast Company.
Reshma is the author of the international bestseller Brave, Not Perfect and has a podcast with the same name and the New York Times bestseller Girls Who Code: Learn to Code and Change the World. Reshma’s TED talk, “Teach girls, bravery not perfection,” has more than four million views and has sparked a worldwide conversation about how we’re raising our girls.
She began her career as an attorney and activist. In 2010, she surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress. During the race, she visited local schools and saw the gender gap in computing classes firsthand, which led her to start Girls Who Code.
She is a graduate of the University of Illinois, Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, and Yale Law. Her work on behalf of young women has earned her broad recognition on lists including: Fortune World’s Greatest Leaders; Fortune 40 Under 40; WSJ Magazine Innovator of the Year; Forbes Most Powerful Women Changing the World; and Fast Company 100 Most Creative People, among others.
She lives in New York City with her husband, Nihal, their son, Shaan, and bulldog, Stanley.

On this episode of Play Matters with Bright Horizons, we learn about how play provides a foundation for success! Claire Goss mentions how we may have heard terms like “Montessori” or “play-based." At Bright Horizons, they have a unique framework for teaching and learning called “Discovery Driven Learning." They put children’s discovery at the center of the framework. From finding their fingers and toes to repetitively asking why to wondering how things work, how people feel, and how to learn, children are driven to discover. Bright Horizons nurtures these natural curiosities and pursue these inquiries using a whole-child curriculum. Claire goes on to provide tips on how parents should embrace the mess and allow their kids to use all their five senses to explore!
