21: How You Can Partner With the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls with guest Lauren Babb

I'm happy to share today my excellent conversation with Lauren Babb. Lauren is the chair of the California Commission on the Status of Women and Girls. She is a change-maker and community leader. Last year, she was recognized as one of four black policy movers and shakers by the Women's Foundation.

Lauren shares the amazing work that the Commission has accomplished around the state and her vision for the future. She highlights resources and opportunities from the Commission now available for grassroots organizations that serve women and girls, including grants and youth leadership development.

There's a ton of information in today's episode. I encourage you to take notes and spread the word.
