This week, we decided to give a toast to a Broad who dedicated her entire life to the pursuit of gender equality. The news lately has felt very doom and gloom in regards to her passing, so we wanted to highlight a few of her achievements and attempt to recenter the narrative around what she pushed for: empowering one another to continue the fight for justice and equality.
A full episode on RBG is sure to come in the future, but for now, we wanted to mourn her passing in our own way. We'll return with another Broad next week.
