Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Change for Women in Politics with Mary Hayashi

In episode 54 of the United SHE Stands podcast, we had the privilege to sit down with Mary Hayashi to talk about her new book Women in Politics: Breaking Down the Barriers to Achieve True Representation, which comes out on October 25, 2023! 

Mary is an award-winning author, national healthcare leader, and former California State Assembly member. With a distinguished career in public service, Mary has spearheaded substantial reforms in mental health services, championing gender equality, and forged powerful, unprecedented partnerships for social causes that previously had no financial or public backing. Recognized as “Legislator of the Year” by the American Red Cross And the California Medical Association, Mary has also been featured on Redbook’s “Mothers and Shakers” list and Ladies’ Home Journal’s “Women to Watch.” As Principal of Public Policy & Advocacy Solutions, she has successfully advised business and policy leaders on some of today’s most complex public policy matters. Mary remains a steadfast proponent of social justice expansion and the rights of underrepresented communities.
