We interviewed Daniela Pierre-Bravo, co-author of Earn It!, a guide for millennials on how to grow their careers. She wrote it with Mika Brzezinski, co-host of Morning Joe, and had a lot to say not only about the book, but also her journey from DACA recipient to teaming up with one of the most powerful women on TV. The book is a guide for the newest members of the workforce, with advice for landing a job, establishing a personal brand, and getting the recognition (and money) they deserve.

Brave, Not Perfect with Girls Who Code Founder and CEO Reshma Saujani

Many women may not know it, but, they face inequalities in every purchase of their favorite shampoo, deodorant and other beauty basics. The infamous "Pink Tax" is an added amount women are charged for basic products or services, including body wash, laundry services, conditioner and more. Now, European Wax Center (EWC) is leading an effort to "Ax The Pink Tax" with a new initiative aimed at raising awareness for the unjust Pink Tax and inspiring women to take a stand. Ladies Get Paid is teaming up with EWC for the second year of the #AxThePinkTax campaign, to help raise awareness through education and provide people with tools to take action and ignite a movement. The Pink Tax is absurd, and EWC is taking action. To learn more about the Pink Tax, you can check out our latest episode of Lady Talk, where Ladies Get Paid Founder Claire Wasserman chats with EWC President Sherry Baker, where she shares her personal story in discovering the absurdity of the Pink Tax, as well as her incredibly impressive career leading beauty, fashion and luxury brands like Sephora, Swarovski, and Victoria’s Secret. This podcast is presented as part of a paid partnership with European Wax Center.

It costs more to be a woman.

Ladies Get Paid sits down with Alessandra Biaggi, the Democratic candidate running for State Senator of New York's 34th District. Alessandra was one of the very first members of Ladies Get Paid, and has worked towards our shared mission of economic equality for women and girls every day since then. Why is Alessandra running? Because “it’s more dangerous to be silent than to run for office.” If we want to live in a nation where women are truly equal, where we’re free and able to make healthcare decisions about our own bodies, we can’t afford to be silent. Ladies Get Paid is proud to endorse Alessandra Biaggi for New York State Senate.

Alessandra Biaggi wants to improve the workplace for women. She's starting with State Senate.

Megan Cesare-Eastman, the Ladies Get Paid lawyer, gives her perspective on the lawsuit that was brought by members of a men's rights group, claiming gender discrimination. Learn more at ladiesgetsued.com

Ladies Get a Lawyer

Last year, Ladies Get Paid was sued for gender discrimination by members of a men's rights group. This group routinely targets other organizations like ours who are doing important work to advance the fight for equality. They exploit the Unruh Civil Rights Act, a law intended to protect the very people they sue, and have brought more than 300 suits like the one against Ladies Get Paid, including one against the Violence Against Women Act. This group sued Ladies Get Paid, our founder Claire Wasserman, and six of our ambassadors who helped organize our events. We're releasing a series of podcast episodes dedicated to the lawsuit, as well as a deeper discussion of the value of safe spaces, the community of men's rights group, and how the law is not always on our side. This episode is the first in the series, and features Ladies Get Paid founder Claire Wasserman as she describes her personal experience dealing with the lawsuit.
