Julia's guest on today's podcast is Ai-Jen Poo. She's an award winning organizer, social innovator, author, and a leading voice in the women's movement. She's the executive director of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, co-director of Caring Across Generations, cofounder of Supermajority and trustee of the Ford Foundation.
Ai-Jen is a nationally recognized expert on elder and family care, the future of work, gender equality, immigration, narrative change, and grassroots organizing.
She is the author of the celebrated book, The Age of Dignity: Preparing for the Elder Boom in a Changing America.
The conversation that Julia and Ai-Jen had focused around a theme of integrating healing and action. Ai-Jen told us the story of recovering from her own experiences of both harassment and assault and what an important part of her healing journey it was to get into action. She also talked about how important it was to have a community of people who could hear her story and believe her story and get into action with her to help change the conditions that so many workers like herself still face on a daily basis.
She listed for us a number of different healing resources that are available out there, whether you are a domestic worker or you're anybody who is the survivor of workplace discrimination, harassment, or assault.
