Listen Later

Special guest Ashlie Lancaster joins the Woman Beings to talk about her career as a woman in government, and over 20 years of working across partisan lines. Once a bra-burning, hippie-skirt-wearing political activist, Ashlie shares her story of how she ended up working for the South Carolina state government and how she found ways to enact change from the inside. She talks about serving as a woman in government, the importance of creating space for more female and minority leaders, and how to stay true to yourself in the pursuit of a career. Also, spoilers, Ashlie is Emma's MOM.
