Tina Tchen

Tina Tchen doesn't remember the first time she met the Obamas. But what she does remember is the ground-breaking policies that she worked on with both Barack and Michelle during their time in the White House. The daughter of Chinese immigrants, Tina has forged a top-notch career as a lawyer, activist and advocate, and has been focused on gender equity issues for over three decades, while raising two kids as a single mother. After she set up the legal defence fund for the group Time's Up, which to date has raised over $24 million dollars to support the legal cases of women who have been harassed at work. She is a powerhouse, and she knows how to get things done. This episode is part of a six-part ‘It’s A Long Story’ series featuring alumni from our All About Women festival . All About Women returns to Sydney Opera House on 8 March 2020. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
