Susun Matta Is Speaking

And just like that, we enter Season 3. 

Season 3 of I Am Speaking with Shailushi and Kosha will focus on bucking gender norms and expectations. Just as in every aspect of life, there are a billion ways to do that. And we are going to explore some of those ways. Each guest will have a story that connect to this thread.

First Up: Susan Matta, lawyer and advocate extraordinaire. If you know her, you know she’s tough, direct and a freaking good lawyer. Yet, she (half) jokingly says she must have to serve it up with a pie. Often people don’t know what to do with a FEMALE tough, direct, good lawyer. Susan talks to us about how she combats her opposition commenting about her tone and her shoes, how she knows the difference between assertive and aggressive, and how she knows certain men would never talk to other men the way they talk to her and her female colleagues. 

As an episode 1, we couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you, Susan, for your candor and vulnerability. Also, your muffin familect kept us laughing long after we ended recording.
