Shearman & Sterling has launched a new podcast called Barrier Blasters, a series dedicated to enhancing diversity and inclusion in the communities in which we live and work. The podcast will feature conversations with individuals and industry leaders who have challenged the status quo, broken through barriers, and in doing so, have created opportunities for others.
Our inaugural episode features Sandra Bang, the firm’s Chief Diversity and Talent Strategy Officer, and Rebecca Lobo, a former WNBA star and Olympic gold medalist. In this funny and eye-opening conversation, Rebecca shares anecdotes about how her coach challenged and inspired her to press forward early in her career and how her mother served as a role model when it came to “blasting barriers.”
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
