Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Reshma Saujani: Creating Innovative & Impact-Driven Nonprofits
Q: What sparked that decision and what lesson from that experience can be shared with women who are scared of taking risks and terrified of failure?
Reshma explains that the decision came from a desire to serve and a realization that political service is a way to give back; she emphasizes embracing risk, viewing bravery as a daily practice rather than a singular heroic act, and encouraging women to take chances even when the odds are daunting.
Attorney General Letitia James: Fighting for Justice and Accountability
Q: What experiences most clearly set you on the path towards public service and what lessons from your upbringing still guide your leadership today?
Her answer highlights humble beginnings, the influence of her family, and a creed of serving everyday New Yorkers, especially through pay equity and leadership opportunities for women and people of color. She emphasizes the power of seeing oneself reflected in leadership, the impact of grassroots organizers, and the need to turn belief into concrete action in policy and enforcement.
Ai-jen Poo: Championing Care & Gender Justice
Q: What advice would you give to women early in their journey who want to enact change?
Build a 'kitchen cabinet' of trusted allies who will support you, challenge you, and help you navigate obstacles, protecting new ideas and giving them room to grow while you learn and adapt.
Ai-jen Poo: Championing Care & Gender Justice
Q: What are some principles or practices that guide you when leading collaboratively, especially with diverse ideas about solutions?
She highlights the importance of creating a space where people feel powerful together, organizing around shared frames like Maia Angelou's quote about making others feel valued, and using inclusive processes such as multi-language conventions to gather broad priorities that can be translated into concrete policy steps.
Ai-jen Poo: Championing Care & Gender Justice
Q: I would love to know if you had a role model or a mentor or someone you've wanted to emulate their leadership.
Ai-jen emphasizes the influence of her grandmother and matriarchal family figures who modeled dignity, resilience, and agency, shaping her belief in collective leadership and the power of community to move systems forward.
