Saw the ex CEO of a fitness brand allegedly disparaged a male colleague who was contemplating taking paternity leave... So I wrote this on @OlympiaOhanian& #39;s 3rd bday bc we need to end this absurd stigma against men taking paternity leave. https://www.fastcompany.com/90548828/alexis-ohanian-why-now-is-the-time-to-de-stigmatize-paternity-leave-for-good">https://www.fastcompany.com/90548828/...
Pathetic. https://www.businessinsider.com/soulcycle-fired-pregnancy-discrimination-exec-lawsuit-2020-8">https://www.businessinsider.com/soulcycle...
After multiple surgeries that my wife barely survived, what kind of man WOULDN& #39;T absolutely want to take paternity leave (if he& #39;s lucky enough to have access) to be there for his fam? Besides, it it should be available for EVERY American. Not just wealthy CEOs + founders like me.
And while we& #39;re on the subject.. there& #39;s a black maternal health crisis in the US and COVID19 has only exacerbated it. Shoutout to members of Congress like @replbr who are doing the work to fight + fix this, but there& #39;s A LOT to be done. https://www.vox.com/2020/8/10/21336312/covid-19-pregnancy-birth-black-maternal-mortality">https://www.vox.com/2020/8/10...
thank you to my partner @DoveMenCare for trying to help change the perception of Paternity Leave and joining me early in my fight for #PaidFamilyLeave for all Americans.
