I'm so honoured to be featured alongside these incredible women at Clio. With it being #WomensHistoryMonth and #InternationalWomensDay, I've been doing a lot of reflection on my professional journey as a young, Asian professional. People who know me describe me as an outgoing, extroverted, bubbly, social butterfly. However, growing up in Indonesia, with all the societal pressures and unwritten rules on how women should/should not behave, I've had to do a lot of work to overcome my imposter syndrome (spoiler alert: it's still a work in progress). Although I may come across as confident and strong, I often doubt myself and my skills. I feel like I thrive in situations where I'm facilitating workshops, executing on projects or even being a culture ambassador to our new hires through our company-wide onboarding program. But when it comes to presenting ideas in a room full of people who I *think* are more senior than me, my pulse starts racing, my palms get sweaty and I feel the need to retreat and hide behind my shell. "What if my ideas are bad?" "Who am I to provide input?" "They probably know better." These are the questions and assumptions that cloud my thoughts and feed into my insecurities. I've come to the realization that it boils down to me being afraid of failure, of being incompetent and chasing the validation of others. This has led me to become a people-pleaser. Instead of sharing my honest thoughts, my raw ideas, or even what I feel, sometimes I try tailoring my response to what I think people would accept or like. That seems tiring though, doesn't it? One way that I've been able to build my confidence is by surrounding myself with powerful, strong women. Here are a few lessons I've learned from them: 1. Sharing my opinions and ideas is my job! Whether that idea is accepted or liked is out of my control. Thank you Coach Katie Wyka for helping me to reframe. 2. I have a choice in how I show up in every moment. 3. There isn't one type of leader. I can be driven and high-performing but also lead with empathy and compassion. Cecily Clarke and Allison Jones are my inspiration! 4. It's okay to have an unpopular opinion. Penny Efthimiou (she/ her) is a great example of a person who isn't afraid to voice her thoughts while also being able to create a safe space for others to share their ideas. 5. What people think of me should not define my self-worth. There are so many other women at Clio and in my community that have made such a positive impact on me, but the list is too long! I just want to say a HUGE thank you to all the women out there who also support and hype up other women 💜 As I'm writing this post, a post that I've had drafted in my Notes app for more than a year, I'm still anxious and nervous about what people will think. Today, I'm letting that go. Instead of seeking that external validation, I'm just writing this for me.
In honor of #InternationalWomensDay and #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re spotlighting a few of the incredible women on #TeamClio along with the advice they’d share with their younger selves. We know that the achievements and resilience of women are not limited to a single day of acknowledgement. We'll continue to spotlight Clions, as well as the stories of history-making legal trailblazers on Clio’s social media channels all year through and beyond.

The #ERA could be finally ratified with all our help! Gender-aware individuals - now is your chance to sign for a constitutional amendment that would ban gender discrimination in legal systems, laws, practices, etc. American citizens can sign on the first page of the website. https://www.sign4era.org/ It would give us the grounds to fight for our equality when needed. This is much a much stronger action with better predicted results than any of the Supreme Court Cases that we had been relying on before for our safety. The power of the constitution is meant for all Americans - let's make it a reality! https://www.sign4era.org/
Feminists, Activists, those of us Leaning in. Thank you for all you do for Women! The time is now. The US House will vote on the Equal Rights Amendment this summer. Protect and equalize our fundamental rights. Here's to Equality. Sign on the movement to demand Equal Rights.

We have been reflecting on the topic of mansplaining this week at Women's Environmental Leadership Australia (WELA) after professional golfer and woman Georgia Ball went viral on TikTok last week with a man giving unsolicited advice on her golf swing. It's unfortunately all too common and something most of us women have experienced across our leadership journey. Mansplaining not only undermines the expertise and insights of women and gender diverse people but also perpetuates gender inequality by reinforcing the idea that men's voices are inherently more valuable. As Rebecca Solnit, acclaimed writer and Guardian US columnist writes "It’s great that the word mansplaining exists, along with spin-offs such as whitesplaining and westsplaining (the latter for North Americans and western Europeans explaining the invasion of Ukraine and eastern European politics with narratives centred on our political histories rather than theirs). But everything loses meaning when it loses context. Mansplaining’s meaning requires the broader context of intersecting inequalities and assumptions that play out in everyday life, with consequences that are occasionally amusing but too often nightmarish. My goal always was to advocate for a democracy of voice, for equality in who gets to speak, who’s heard, and who’s believed and respected when they speak, across all categories." Let's challenge ourselves to recognise and address instances of mansplaining, whether they occur in classrooms, workplaces, or everyday conversations, and to amplify diverse voices and create spaces where everyone feels heard and respected. #womeninleadership #diversityandinclusion #intersectionality

Honoring Black Women Through Research and Advocacy with My Soul Sister! I am beyond proud to share my contributions to educational research through My Soul Sister, an organization dedicated to empowering and uplifting Black women. Together, we’ve made strides in advocating for equity, inclusion, and representation in educational spaces. Some key highlights: ✅ Accessibility to Research on Black Women's Educational Experiences – Our work delves deep into the intersectionality of race and gender, shedding light on the challenges Black women face and the strengths they bring to academia and beyond. ✅ Creating Solutions for Equity and Inclusion – Through My Soul Sister, we’re not just identifying systemic barriers but providing actionable strategies to support Black women in educational and professional environments. ✅ Fostering Empowerment Through Community – We believe that true change comes from building strong networks. Our initiatives are centered on creating spaces where Black women can connect, share their stories, and thrive. I'm excited for the future as we continue advocating for the voices and experiences of Black women through research, action, and community-building. #EducationalResearch #MySoulSister #BlackWomenInAcademia #EquityInEducation #Empowerment #InclusionMatters
