Katherine Goldstein is as brilliant as they come. She shines brightly in a way that is welcoming and engaging. She is inclusionary and eager to leave this world much better than she found it in the name of working women. Those of us who read or listen to her never tire of her sharp and keenly observant point of view.

Katherine has followed her own path from traditional publishing career to a prestigious fellowship, which led her to be the voice to be heard in outlets including the New York Times. Now, with just days to go until the launch of her much-anticipated Double Shift podcast (yes, subscribe) we thought it a perfect time to give you a bit of Katherine in her own words.

Remember to share your back to work after baby story here and we will donate a package of diapers in your name to the DC Diaper Bank.

Melanie is a woman with not only the will but also the way! Building a career and a family at the same time is not a walk in the park and wow, does she ever pull it off with generosity and grace! Her work is always with an eye on the greater good. Having been a lead on Dr. Jill Biden’s team, she polished her skills and better still grew a “fan base” of individuals and organizations that call on Melaine and her remarkable talents as a caring communicator to advance conversations, to protect and elevate issues and advocate for those who need her commitment and smarts. Yes, Melanie, a friend of the It’s Working Project is all that and more!

Tina Lee is a deeply dedicated doer. A native San Franciscan and technology professional  who saw the gap between the growing technology sector and the mothers (and others!) who were eager to get themselves moving in a new direction and into the new economy, Tina got thinking. Thus MotherCoders was born.

Tina is passionate. She speaks regularly on topics that bring to life the growth and success of women including digital inclusion and workforce development.

As MotherCoders grows so does Tina’s commitment to meeting not only the skills but social needs of women re-entering the workforce. Workshops are made for learning and growing in all directions — she is that good! And those who have had the privilege of working with her carry the confidence that is the truest signature of MotherCoders!

Next up — New York. Look for Tina and MotherCoders to hit the Big Apple in 2019 with programs that promise more of the same in partnership with google and Mothers. NYC Tina and team will be there for moms looking to re-enter, expand and explore new directions.

There really is only one Tina Lee. We are in awe of all she has accomplished in the name of mothers. As for Tina as a mother in the workplace – we thought we’d share her story with you as part of our celebration of the Spirit of Giving.

Please share your story with us allowing all mothers to find success however they define it! Click here to share your story now and we will donate a pack of diapers in your name to the DC Diaper Bank.
