The EqualizHER podcast is about real equality stories that maketh the woman

Brooke Roberts is a New Zealand entrepreneur and businesswoman. She is one of six co-founders of the micro-investing platform Sharesies. Her gender equality story started early. She remembers not being able to compete against the boys at sport – and questioning why! She was also aware of the financial impact of her parent’s divorce and what that meant in terms of having enough to do nice things compared to those who could not. It was an experience that stuck with her and its what drives her today in working to ensure everyone has the opportunity to build wealth from a low base.

“It’s not women that need to change, it’s the environments they are working in that has to change.” That’s the strong view of the incredible Catherine Fox in this Financy EqualizHER podcast. Fox, who is a leading commentator on women and equality in the workforce, an award-winning journalist, author and presenter, talks to us about feminism in the 70s and what’s changed today, what hasn’t and what needs to. Fox has published five books, including “Stop Fixing Women” which along with her journalism was awarded the 2017 Walkley Award for Women’s Leadership in Media.
