Say It Skillfully®–Dr Mara Harvey empowering gender wealth equity

Say It Skillfully® is a show that helps you to benefit from Molly Tschang’s expert guidance on the best possible ways to speak your mind at work in a positive and productive manner. In Episode 64, Dr. Mara Harvey, shares her journey to passionate advocate for gender financial equality and youth financial literacy. Her positive, blissful sense of money vanished overnight at age 10 with her parents’ divorce. Her incomeless mother, raising 2 daughters, modeled determination and belief that has served Mara well. She turned to the numbers to identify key factors with real consequences; e.g., a 10% pay gap can result in a 40% wealth gap (11:00). Mara shares how bias starts at home, and we discuss ways to close gender gaps. Then Aysha, an MD, calls in: without warning, she was suspended and later fired for moderating a student discussion on bias/racial health disparities (students supported Dr Khoury, 36:00). Tune in and learn how to navigate work while being invaluable and true to yourself.
