Tina TChen — TIME'S UP Now
In this episode, hosts Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi are joined by TIME'S UP Now President and CEO and former Chief of Staff to First Lady Michelle Obama, Tina TChen, to discuss the continued battles women face in the political arena and other work industries, the work TIME'S UP Now is doing to foster safe, equal, and empowering work environment for women, and the importance of women being politically and civically active.
Tina Tchen is a lawyer who co-founded and now serves as president and CEO of TIME’S UP Now and the TIME’S UP Foundation, overseeing the organizations’ strategic plans to change culture, companies, and laws in order to make work safe, fair, and dignified for women of all kinds. Her work centers on issues related to gender inequity, sexual harassment, and lack of diversity in the workplace. In addition, through Times UP Legal Defense Fund, which she also co-founded, thousands of people are connected to legal or PR support for sexual harassment across dozens of different industries. Before joining TIMES UP, Tina was an assistant to President Barack Obama, executive director of the White House Council on Women and Girls, and chief of staff to First Lady Michelle Obama, and has been a partner in two law firms.
