Being a prominent woman in power is not easy. You are constantly scrutinized by the media, and there are plenty of bad-faith actors who will criticize you no matter what you do. Nowhere is this judgment more apparent than with the experience of Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States and the first woman of color to hold this esteemed level of office. Today on the Potential to Powerhouse Podcast, we speak with Hitha Palepu, mother of two, CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals, early-stage investor, and author of the new book We’re Speaking: The Life Lessons of Kamala Harris. With so much going on in her life, it’s no wonder that Hitha calls herself a multi-hyphenate. Tuning in you’ll hear from Hitha about her journey as the only child of immigrant parents, how feminism has shaped her, and how she continues to navigate the many facets of her life and career. Learn about the life-saving product that is being developed by Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals, what it was like writing a book in two-and-a-half months, and why she dedicated it to the women who won’t take no for an answer. We also talk about the limiting beliefs that society puts on women, the crucial role that women play in the economy, and why it’s time for women to speak their truth. Be sure to tune in for this inspiring conversation!
