Join Empovia (formerly Change Catalyst) Founder & CEO Melinda Briana Epler in her interview with Muna Hussaini, Chief of Staff to Indee's CTO,\\xa0 about navigating parenthood during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020.\\xa0

Muna shares about her own story as an American Muslim; working to build more inclusive workplaces; the impact of Black Lives Matter on her kids and family; the new norm of handling Zoom calls and full- time work with kids; and how teams and companies can show up for parents. Other highlights include:

• The opportunity to redefine success in this tumultuous time
• The fact that it's ok not to do everything, and ways team members can help each other
• The need for companies to walk the talk when they say that their employees are their most important assets

Muna's insights in this discussion include:

"We have an opportunity to redefine what success looks like so that the costs that were incurred by the few are now shared collectively, and I think if we can redefine what that looks like, we win together. "

\\u201cPeople have to know that if they share something that maybe makes them vulnerable, that they have the psychological safety to share, and that they won't be penalized for it. And it can be really hard."

"I have always struggled with this guilt from being away from my kids... and I just think I am going to miss this, you know?\\u201d
