Allyship is not Friendship
In this episode I am joined by Anu Nair, Research
Technician at the Health Science Research Institute in Sudbury, Ontario.
During our discussion we had an amazing conversation about her work in the Life Sciences industry, the impact of coaches during her career and the importance of working with mentors of every age to help make continued strides for women in STEM.
Also, let me know your thoughts on our discussion around allyship. Allies are not friends, but those who build one another up whether you are in the room or not!
Thank you, Anu, for a fantastic conversation!
