DNA of a MAKER with Lilliana Vazquez

Dyllan McGee, founder and CEO of MAKERS, discusses the origins of ‘DNA of a MAKER’ and what individual traits make a great leader. The answer may surprise you! Plus, a special round of rapid fire questions with our host, Lilliana Vazquez.

Aileen Lee, one of the biggest names in tech, is the founder of Cowboy Ventures, one of the first venture capital firms launched by a woman. We discuss what traits have propelled her toward success, how she managed her own blindspots, and why this new generation of female leaders impresses and inspires her.

Erin Andrews, sports broadcaster for Fox Sports, candidly discusses working in a male-dominated field, what traits of hers have either helped or hindered her success, and how the use of the word "baby" during an interview with a well-known football player caused a firestorm of criticism.

Diane Guerrero, actress, author and activist, speaks with us on why she is an outspoken advocate for immigration reform and how her own personal story has had a deep impact on her life.

Gretchen Carlson, a journalist, advocate and champion of the #MeToo movement, sits down with us to discuss the key traits that define her as a high achieving woman, both professionally and personally.

Tarana Burke, civil rights activist, community organizer and the original founder of the #MeToo movement, sits down to discuss the traits that have shaped her personality, including being a good leader and listener, characteristics that have helped her double her commitment to being a champion for women and girls.

We sit down with Columbia and UCLA Law School professor Kimberlé Crenshaw. She’s a leading authority on civil rights and Black feminist legal thought, the force behind the #SayHerName campaign, which calls attention to police violence against Black women, and she also coined the term intersectionality.

Since launching in 2012, MAKERS has been helping to accelerate the women’s movement by sharing stories of real-life experiences that ignite passion and action. On DNA of a MAKER, we’re going deeper to better understand our guests, the traits that have led to their success and see what we can learn from their journeys.
