Season 2 of Athena Rising is taking a different turn. In Season 1, we interviewed powerhouse women lawyers – “Vogue” style (that is, asking 36 conversational/rapid-fire questions, both personal and professional in scope). For Season 2, we decided to interview men who have often quietly, in the backdrop of things, mentored women and served as Allies to Athenas. Let’s face it, inclusion is the only (and the right) way to achieve diversity and equity. We believe this to be true based on our own personal experiences and wanted to share stories from some of the men who have impacted our lives and others with you. Enjoy!
