What’s invisible, but impacts whether or not we thrive? No, it’s not the vibe, it’s public policy. Public policy impacts how we work, how much we work, and enables or restricts our life choices. Join Treasure Brooks as she sits down with award-winning journalist and media leader, Cindi Leivi, to discuss the policy that we need now, and in the future. Cindi is the former Editor-In-Chief of Glamour and Self magazines, and is the Co-Founder of feminist media collective The Meteor.
