If we want to understand why birth rates are dropping, we need to stop blaming women's career ambitions and start asking men what they're doing to prepare for fatherhood. My latest essay on my egg freezing experience for @MuthaMagazine: muthamagazine.com/2026/10/i-froz…

When you have a daughter, there comes a moment when you have to teach her to stand up for herself. In my case, it happened when she met her first bully in preschool. For @Newsweek, I share what I learned about teaching young girls to "play nice." newsweek.com/daughter-first…
www.newsweek.com My daughter’s bully wouldn’t stop—until I gave her this ridiculous advice I’m not raising a tiny Karen. But I am raising a girl who will know that sometimes being nice won’t work.

The next front in the fight for the rights of American women is not in the doctor’s office. It’s in an Amazon fulfillment warehouse and a Speedway convenience store. My latest for @thehill: thehill.com/opinion/civil-…
thehill.com The war on women is happening in a warehouse, not in the statehouse Policy decisions that deeply affect millions of working women will be finalized this November.

It was great to join the Liberating Motherhood podcast, where we discussed how our legal system can better support women, the importance of paid leave, defending pregnant workers, and how my own experiences as a mother of color brought me to this work: zawn.substack.com/p/inimai-chett…

Without updates to New York's paid medical leave law, workers are forced to survive off just $170/week when they're seriously ill or injured. In 2026, this is unliveable – @garrar26 @citizenactionny are calling for change in the @timesunion: timesunion.com/opinion/articl…
www.timesunion.com Commentary: Could you live on $170 a week? That's all paid medical leave offers. New York’s paid medical leave program is stuck in 1989. Pass legislation to increase the benefit and help sick and injured workers avoid financial crises while they recover.
