Me Too and Times Up have created power vacuums in our economy, meaning new opportunities for women. The patriarchal model for business is beginning to crack, and this workshop will explore how women-led organizations can be used as tools to widen opportunities for women leaders. Lindsey Rainwater, Business Advisor & founder of The Women in Fitness Association will be facilitating an exploratory conversation into how women can participate in this new and exciting climate.

5. THE SILENCE
BREAKER
Tarana Burke, a social activist and community organizer, began using the phrase "Me Too" in
2006, and the phrase was popularized by Alyssa Milano in 2017 when she encouraged women
to tweet about it and "give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem". The response on
Twitter included high-profile posts from several celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley
Judd, Jennifer Lawrence, and Uma Thurman.

6. Time's Up is a movement against sexual harassment and was founded on January 1, 2018, by
Hollywood celebrities in response to the Weinstein effect and #MeToo. As of February 2018, it
has raised $20 million for its legal defense fund, and gathered over 200 volunteer lawyers.

11. A LITTLE
BACK
STORY
I was looking for women to
collaborate with and build
community.
In the work I do, I am an strategic advisor, writer and
speaker. I influence business's when it comes to their
strategic work, process and leadership development.
Rewind the time to spring 2017, I’m 7 months
pregnant, and knew I wanted to create a place where
women could champion each other, collaborate and
support. I wanted a place where I could go to find
women to be in community with and support one
another in our accomplishments.
