Women make up 40% of all athletes and yet only 4% of sports media coverage is devoted to them. The consequence of little to no air time? Women lose out on sponsors, fans & money. We can change the balance of media coverage, & commit to equal representation! #MLSAllStar @MLS @ATT

I’ve always been told that there’s no room for emotion in the boardroom, but that’s not true. Caring and empathy are very important characteristics for leaders. As Sarah Jessica Parker says, “Trying to be a man is a waste of a woman." Our differences are our greatest strengths!

Research shows that within a boardroom, 1 woman — or even 2 — isn’t enough to shift a culture. More than 3 women is when you'll start to see a change. The best board members aren’t the obvious pick of the boys’ club. @deloitte
