Description

We’re nearing the end of Pride month for 2023, and this year visibility, equity, and safety seem more critical than ever. Olympic gold medalist and USNWT soccer star Megan Rapinoe, now Chief Equality Officer at software startup Trusaic, joins Jessi for a conversation about pay equity, the importance of standing and speaking up, and the unassailable human rights of every member of the LGBTQIA+ community. In this conversation, Megan shares the journey to establishing equal treatment and pay for the US Women’s National Team, how building a diverse team on the field and in the business sector leads to wins for everyone, and why fostering belonging is a critical necessity everywhere.

Check out Megan’s soccer career with the USWNT here and visit Trusaic on Linkedin and the web to learn more about her pay equity advocacy.
