He Said, She Said: Frankie’s Story, On the Set
Through our new blog series, He Said, She Said, we’ll be telling your stories. We aim to highlight the (mostly) unintentionally biased language that is often used in the workplace towards women.

It’s something I consistently struggle with, even as I work to help others feel like they can take on the world.
