    Breaking Barriers: A Conversation on Gender Inclusion in Politics and Business

    Breaking Barriers: A Conversation on Gender Inclusion in Politics and Business

    “From a very young age, girls are often taught to diminish our skills. You don't want to take too much credit, and you don't want to be too assertive, but at the same time, you have to be confident. But you can't be self promoting. So, don't promote yourself too much, but at the same time, be assertive and have leadership traits.”


    These are the words that my most recent guest on KnowThyBrand Women podcast, Mary Chung Hayashi, used when talking about women in politics. 


    Mary Chung Hayashi is an award-winning author, national healthcare leader, and former California State Assemblymember. With a distinguished career in public service, Mary has spearheaded substantial reforms in mental health services, championed gender equality, and forged powerful, unprecedented partnerships for social causes that previously had no financial or public backing.


    In her book Women in Politics, Mary offers a riveting exploration of the strides made by women in government. This essential, contemporary analysis bridges the gap between past and present, blending Mary’s personal journey as an Asian American immigrant and former California State Assemblymember with the inspiring stories of trailblazing women in political leadership. 


    Featuring interviews and insightful discussions, Mary brings to life the trials and triumphs of these women, showcasing their invaluable contributions to political landscapes and the transformative power of their perseverance. Her work sheds light on the ongoing struggles for gender-political parity and serves as a call to action: we must actively participate in shaping our democracy.
