The President and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center is a staunch champion for all women and girls, and defender of civil rights. Today, she joins Sali to share how she got over imposter syndrome as a first-generation lawyer, why Congress resembles The Real Housewives these days, how executive orders to “protect women” can actually doing the opposite, and why now is not the time to be discouraged by the state of the world—it’s time to take action.

ABOUT THE HOST

Sali’s Story

Sali spent a decade working in the Bay Area's finance and technology scene where she struggled to find work clothes that were both bold and practical. Options were stagnant, constricting, and lacked key functional elements.

Amidst her search, Sali read a study whose finding moved her to action: A woman’s ability to make a strong sartorial statement impacts her confidence, her career, and ultimately, her bottom line. 

It was then that Sali, an entrepreneur at heart and unapologetic power dresser, founded Argent. She set out to provide modern-day women with inspiring, practical, go-to resources to instill confidence in what to wear for their busy (often hybrid) lives. From then on out, Sali’s mission has been to help women suit up to level the office playing field and claim their seat at the table.
