Ideas

Tina explores the connections between diversity, inclusion, and equity along with identity, culture, fashion, authenticity, and professionalism. She first started Shared Sisterhood™ as a movement to drive gender and racial equity in organisations. Her 2022 book, Shared Sisterhood (co-authored with Beth Livingston), explains how to use vulnerability, trust, empathy, and risk-taking to build ‘shared sisterhood’ in the workplace. Tina breaks this process down into three key parts: dig into your own assumptions around race ethnicity, gender, and power; bridge the divide between women of all backgrounds through authentic relationships; and advance all women across the organization and beyond.
