Gender imbalance in PR is not a pipeline problem. It is a systems problem. And until the structure changes, the outcomes will not.

In this episode of Stories and Strategies, Farzana Baduel and Doug Downs speak with Natasha Plowman, founder of the Break the Silence Collective, about why gender equity in communications requires more than policy or performative action. From listening labs to allyship, the conversation explores what real change looks like and why both men and women need to be part of it.

They also examine the role of leadership, culture, and self awareness in shaping the future of the industry. Because progress does not come from keeping the room comfortable. It comes from changing it.
