Leslie is first joined by Catherine Gray, Co-Founder of the 'She Angels Foundation,' which works to generate funds in order to support female founded non profits that are helping women.
They discuss how, on this 'Giving Tuesday,' America has a female VP on her way to the White House, but still has a 98 percent gap in funding of women-led startups— a glaring indicator of gender inequity and unmet potential economic growth in the United States.Catherine also details the work that she and her organization are doing to address this inequity.
The website for her foundation is SheAngelsFoundation.org, and the Twitter handle for her film series is @SheAngelsSeries.
During the second half of the show, Leslie is joined by Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo. Dr. Nuzzo is a Senior Scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Health and Engineering, and the Department of Epidemiology, at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
She is also part of Johns Hopkins University’s COVID-19 Testing Insights Initiative, which is working to fill the void of publicly accessible COVID-19 testing data.
Dr. Nuzzo shares thoughts from her recent op-ed in The New York Times, titled, "COVID-19 Data Is a Mess. We Need a Way to Make Sense of It."
You can follow her on Twitter, where her handle is @JenniferNuzzo.
