It wasn’t until joining All
Raise that Kirsten Green
fully appreciated how much
she’d tolerated “micro-
aggressions” throughout
her career, such as having
her advice ignored, being
talked over and constant-
ly interrupted. “Everybody
knows it needs to change.
And plenty of people want
that change,” she says. “And
maybe it will because we
picked up this megaphone
and did something, and put
action behind it.”
