Rakia Reynolds, Live from the Equality Lounge® @ CES with Spotify

For the last episode in this series from the Equality Lounge® @ CES, we have a woman who has been integral to CES: Karen Chupka, Executive VP of CES at CTA. For over 30 years, she's seen how technology has developed and changed lives. Her story is filled with hope and promise for women in tech, the perfect note to end this series. We encourage you all to listen to what she has to say under the very end. 

How lucky are we to have hosted Jasmine Crowe LIVE from the Equality Lounge® @ CES? Jasmine Crowe is the Founder & CEO of a company called Goodr.  She is a game changer, activist, technologist and boss who anyone would be honored to know.  What started out as cooking meals for the hungry from her apartment kitchen has now turned into a global movement to end hunger on a large scale. If you want to be moved, press play.

To kick off our last three LIVE episodes from the Equality Lounge® @ CES we have the amazing Jenna Blaha who is currently the Technology and Fashion Senior Editor & Strategic Projects Director for ELLE Magazine. Before interviewing Jenna, we had (or I should say I had) no idea how deeply fashion and technology meshed.  Jenna gives us a fresh perspective on both and her story teaches us that being curious and courageous opens unexpected doors. Listen up, we know you'll be grateful you did.

Our sixth LIVE episode from the Equality Lounge® @ CES features Ann Rosenberg, SVP and Global Head of SAP Next-Gen.

From the Equality Lounge® @ CES our third guest in this special series is sextech inventor and fempreneur Lora DiCarlo.  If you follow women in tech, you probably know about the controversy that surrounds her.

Lora decided to go public with her story and inspired a movement. Listen up for the FQ inside scoop.
