Hi, I'm Abby Mercado, Co-founder and CEO of Rescripted, former VC investor and ever entrepreneur, fierce advocate for women, and mom of IVF twins. Welcome to Women's Health Mavericks, a podcast dedicated to shining a light on the people who are moving the needle when it comes to women's health and wellness. From inspiring entrepreneurs and innovators to leaders of big brands defining culture to movers and shakers of biosciences companies dedicated to treating women well. Introduce you to the people, the ideas, and the businesses that are changing the face of women's health in America and across the globe. With these changemakers on our side, the future of women's health is bright. Now let's get into it.

Abby Mercado:
Good morning, Women's Health Mavericks listeners. Today, I'm so excited to introduce you to Amber Coleman-Mortley, the Senior Director of Community and Culture at The Female Quotient. Amber has spent her career in roles that have centered around equality, equity, community building, and civic engagement. The Female Quotient works with companies and leaders to create experiences, thought leadership, and solutions designed to achieve gender equality in the workplace. Women make up just 10% of senior leaders in the American workforce. If women aren't at the top, how can we be so sure that we're getting the help, considerations, and benefits we need to thrive as women in the workplace? I wanted to chat with Amber to dig into why it's so important for more women to be at the top, not just because of what we bring to the table as empathetic, creative, and resilient leaders, but also because it's better for all of our health and wellness. I am so excited to welcome Amber Coleman-Mortley, the Senior Director of Community and Culture at The Female Quotient. Welcome, Amber. Thanks so much for joining me today.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Oh my God, Abby, I'm so excited for this. You're already a vibe, so this is going to be wonderful.

Abby Mercado:
Well, you're already a vibe. I told you, I love this showman's vibe. I'm so excited to sit down with her today. So Amber, tell us just all about you. Who are you? And then tell us a little bit about the FQ, The Female Quotient.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Yeah. Cool. I will give you the quick version. So I'm Amber. I would say that the true light of my life is equality or equity. The question that I'm asking across all career journeys is, Who's not here, and how can we get them here? I'm a former PE and Health teacher. I spent about a decade doing that. I spent about a decade working in civic education, civic and policy, influencer networks of teachers there, building out a youth fellowship there, and empowering and mobilizing students to think about their civic learning experiences more deeply, and now I'm at The Female Quotient, leading Community and Culture here. And literally, it's just, how do we make sure that the space is ripe for more women in it and keeping them there? So a little bit about the FQ. We are an equality solutions organization. We create, what I call, containers of respite, or these pop-up experiences, at large industry events. Think Davos, South by Southwest Cannes Lions, AdWeek. We were just at the G20. And we bring to these spaces amazing conversations, amazing experiences, and it's just the spot to be, to network. The world's leaders are always in this space. So this is just a great space to find someone or meet someone if you're at an event. And we also then provide what I like to call viral social media content as well. So our social media, on LinkedIn, Instagram, we have nearly 2 million followers across all of our channels, and then we do virtual programming. So wonderful holiday events like Black History Month, we'll have a Black History Month program, Hispanic Heritage Month, Hispanic Heritage Month programming, and then I host and produce our LinkedIn live show, Power of The Pack, where we bring groups of folks together to have timely, culturally conscious, and real conversations on Tuesdays. So that's kind of a little bit, quick overview of the FQ. You know, we also partner on research and all kinds of other really cool things as well, but we are all about bringing equality to the workplace.

Abby Mercado:
I love it. Also, I want to go a little bit further back to Amber. And I want to talk a little bit about you and how you're a former Reese Sports collegiate athlete.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Yeah, absolutely.

Abby Mercado:
I would love to like, first of all, how impressive. I just went for a two-mile walk this morning, and I feel winded. And that's just another issue I need to work through, but we'd love to hear about that. And there's a lot of folks in the Rescripted community that are, I think, anybody who is a former athlete, you don't consider it former, right? It's like you're an athlete, you're always an athlete, and we break down women's health issues for former and current athletes. And as an athlete, you're so in touch with your body, and that lasts throughout your life, right? Like, we're always in hook with our bodies, but like, as an athlete, that is so important. You know, that's a lot of how, you know, a lot of women make money, you know, if they're professional athletes. So anyway, we'd love to kind of hear a little bit more about your athletic career and perhaps also the blue line in your career and in your life.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Yeah. So, you know, I was a three-sport varsity athlete. I went to Oberlin College, which is a small Division 3 school. However, sports at any division is a commitment. Was all-conference 8 of 11 of the seasons that I participated collegiately and I haven't ended CWA appearance, which is pretty cool going to NCAA's. I just want to like, people put their bodies through all kinds of things. And, you know, if you were, you were like, I was winded walking that two-mile distance is like. If you asked me to run a two-mile today, I would look at you crazy, right? But I think, for me, being aware of how my body is feeling has been something that has always been present in my life. And then knowing like when something's not quite right, even when other people are like, You're fine, you're okay, you seem fine, being attuned to the rhythms of my body has always been a thing for me. Being in tune with my emotional well-being, my mental state, and how that impacts my physical health has always been a thing for me. I would also say like, you know, just because you are an athlete doesn't mean that you were healthy or that you're health conscious, because, in many ways, there are a lot of things that athletes have to do that may not be the best for being healthy later on in life, right? I do want to bring that up and make sure that that is very clear. And as we support athletes and we support young athletes to adult and professional athletes, that we're always being mindful of the ways in which they're treating their bodies, that we're pushing their bodies, and that we're teaching them to advocate for themselves. I'm fortunate nothing has ever happened to me, but just seeing how others have experienced their athleticism and their athletic careers, playing through injuries and things like that, often I'm like, you know, how do we make wellness the forefront of every single experience, whether it's athletic experiences to go into the grocery store to being in a corporate space? One more thing I'd say about just being an athlete is: it was a amazing honor, I would say. When I played those three sports, I said to myself, You're only going to have this physical fitness and ability for this amount of time in your life, and you're only going to be able to compete collegiately for this small window, so you might as well go all in. Now, my grades did not suffer, right? I still got great grades, and I made sure that I could be employed afterwards, but I really wanted to make the most out of that experience and get every possible drop out of myself that I could.

Abby Mercado:
That's an amazing reflection as I think about, we started doing this thing in my family, like going around the dinner table after we say grace and saying, okay, what are we grateful for? And that's absolutely something to be grateful for, that we don't often stop and say, Wow, I'm just like grateful for movement. I'm grateful for my body and the fact that it can move in the way that it can move right now, because biologically, it won't always. So that's a great reminder. Thanks for sharing. Okay, and then so you have a Master's in Media Entrepreneurship. So teach me your, like, I'm a media entrepreneur. What do I need to know, Amber?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
What you need to know is the landscape is always changing. And once you think you've mastered something as far as media, as far as entrepreneurship is concerned, you're behind the curve. And so, you know, like, that's one thing. Technology is so fast, and we aren't quite always ready to regulate it, which is exciting. Right now, folks are leaning into artificial intelligence and how that can make life more efficient. The one thing that I'd love for you and everyone listening to remember is that media, it's all about people. What do people like to listen to or to watch or to experience? And so with media entrepreneurship, you're bringing like, What is my angle to making people feel XYZ? And how do I continue to evolve that practice? How do I continue to best myself? How do I continue to innovate using the tools that are out there? How can I use the tools that are available to me in a way that no one has ever thought of before? That, to me, is what is at the core of media entrepreneurship. As an example, my podcast, that's on pause.

Abby Mercado:
I was just going to go there. Yeah, you're a media entrepreneur on the side.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Yes. So for me, it was like, okay, people have a podcast. Do they podcast with their children, you know? No, they don't. So during the pandemic, I was like, We need something to do. My kids and I are going to podcast together. They're going to learn these skills. We're going to like, just wing it and see how it goes, and it was amazing. It's on pause right now because they're teenagers, and I want to respect them and, you know?

Abby Mercado:
Fair enough. I get it.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
But like, you could use a medium that already exists in a different way. And that is what media entrepreneurship is all about.

Abby Mercado:
I love that. Well, so we're talking about how people consume. So I kind of always like to dive into, I mean, we've already broken the ice, so there's no longer an ice breaker, but what are some of the things that you're consuming right now that you really like, just as a consumer? What are you watching, reading, etc?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
As far as watching, I watch tons of black YouTubers, and it's with my kids. So, like, who they are? They're like, Mom, you got to watch this. I would say, like, CoryxKenshin pops up a ton. There's a whole bunch of others like Princess Weekes and others. But as far as reading, I love audiobooks just because I travel a lot. And so I just finished Essential Labor by Angela Garbes, and I hope I'm saying her last name properly. Talks about motherhood in a way that I have always, as a black mom, have thought about motherhood as a revolutionary act of love. And so, you know, she's not a black mom, she's a mom of color, but she's still talking about it in that way. Cultish by Amanda Montell, another really just great book about the ways in which people come together around ideas, experiences, businesses, and even religions. I just love the psychology of what brings people together and coerces them into doing what we want to do, whether that's marketing or whatever. And then Mcmindfulness by Ronald E. Purser, that's another book I'm currently audio-listening to. Just really great for grounding yourself and figuring out, like as I'm consuming mindfulness yoga, what am I doing it for, right? Like, what is the why? What is the purpose behind it? Yeah. So, and then listening to, obviously, with my kids, I'm listening to Ice Spice, Janelle Monae, and then there's always a lo-fi playlist going on in the background when I'm working.

Abby Mercado:
Yeah. We're emailing a little bit about that beforehand. And I was like, all right, this is going to be my Monday afternoon because it is a Monday gang, and I need something to keep me going besides that two-mile walk. That was pretty pathetic, so.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
It was not. Listen, you got out there, and you did something amazing for yourself, so.

Abby Mercado:
Thank you. Thank you. I feel better. Thank you, Amber. Also, you know, today, obviously, we're talking about health and wellness. I love that, what the FQ does is you're really all about getting women to the top and really kind of helping them with what they need. And one of those things is to help support better workplace policies for health and wellness. So let's go back to you. Obviously, you have this role that is just instrumental in the FQ strategy. So tell us about kind of your epiphany, and how you decided that you wanted to support women's health and wellness during your career.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
For me, this epiphany is just living as a black woman in the United States because that's where I'm positioned. Women's health and wellness can only be achieved through an intersectional approach to care, community, and data collection. And I want to be very clear about data collection because data, right now, as it exists, it's a whole bunch out there and what we choose to use is what drives the narrative around what's the problem and how we get towards a solution. If we're collecting the wrong data, we have the wrong, what's the problem, and we'll never get to the proper solution. When we infuse communities as part of the data collection process, not just taking from them and then making it for them, but really bring them into the fold, which is something that the FQ does really, really well when we do our research projects, right? Bringing people in and asking them these questions that maybe they've never been asked before. So for me, this epiphany is like, Hey, we really need to push the needle on nuance and push the needle on what we deem as innovation in the Health and Wellness space and really say, Is this community-driven? Is this centered around the care of all people, cis, trans, whatever identity they have? And is what we're asking, are we asking the right questions to create the solutions that they need?

Abby Mercado:
Right. It's got to be collaborative. Like, you can't say, I mean, it looks like everything that's fine, in healthcare right now. It's like, This is what's wrong with you and this is how I'm going to fix it. And we know that a health and wellness journey is not linear. It is not all about Western medicine. It is not about going to see the doctor, who's a 75-year-old white male. It's a lot of what's going on in your kind of daily practices and habit. So that's awesome. So there's one thing that you noted to me over email that I just wanted to dig into a little bit. So obviously, your work with the FQ is about building more inclusive corporate spaces. And you said something about mental health and wellness and how physical enabling, like, putting policies in place that support women as it relates to their health and wellness, actually attracts back to mental health and wellness. This is something that is so important for us at Rescripted right now, and it's something that we're just now starting to dig into and it sounds like you're ahead of the curve here. So tell us about kind of the connection that you're seeing between women at the helm, just relating to their physical health and their mental health.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
I'm always thinking about is the space ripe for growth, success? You know, the space that you're in has a huge impact on what you experience, which then has a huge impact on how you feel about yourself, which then has a huge impact on how you actually feel. So I had to take it that way, right? When we think about like mental health and wellness, we're thinking about, How do we create these spaces, policies, whatever, where once we put a woman in a leadership position, she can thrive there. She's not just surviving, she is able to thrive and succeed, which then leads to her feeling great about herself and support it. I think a lot of corporate spaces, they're trying to do the work, but there are a lot of folks, especially women and women with marginalized experiences and even individuals with marginalized experiences, who the space is not, the best way for me to put it it's like acidic, so they're allergic to the space that they're in. The work hasn't been done to curate and cultivate the space for the people who are already there to say, Hey, we're going to do something a little different, we're bringing some more people in. It might feel a little awkward for you. Let's talk about it. We bring the new people into the space. We're mentoring them and sponsoring them while they're in that space. And then while they're in that space, they're working with their peers and those who report to them so that everyone feels, well, safe. If there's no psychological safety in the workplace, there's no mental health and wellness, which then leads to being physically unwell. So from our standpoint at the FQ and how that relates to mental health and your physical wellness, it's like we need to make sure that it's not just like you can have unlimited PTO or you have this great insurance. It's what are we doing to support each other so that the community, the community care, right? You might not think you're engaged in community care, but when you're in a space with your coworkers, you are engaged in community care.

Abby Mercado:
You are. Your employers are, I mean, you're supported. It's employer-based healthcare.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Right, right?

Abby Mercado:
Case in point. Like, if it wasn't, like, maybe we'd feel a little bit different, but the fact is, in America it is. So we're working with what we have, right?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Right. Absolutely, absolutely.

Abby Mercado:
I love that you brought up the notion of psychological safety. I talk about that a lot with my coach. Just what is psychological safety? Why does it matter? Why is it important for our leaders to create it and hone it and make sure it is healthy and well? And if you're a leader, specifically a female leader, how do you kind of embody this within your organization such that it is positively affecting the health and wellness of your employees and specifically your female employees?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
So psychological safety, first of all, we're going to have a Power of the Pack conversation. I'm so excited, please come. It's going to be awesome. But psychological safety at the root, it's providing a space for an individual to be able to take risks and feel safe enough to take risks, feel safe enough to speak out, feel safe enough to bring enough of themselves to the workplace to feel as if they're not being diminished, so that would be my overview of what psychological safety is. Now, embodying psychological safety for leadership requires an individual to actually have social, emotional learning skills. You need to be able to read the room. You need to be able to provide feedback in a way that people can receive that. You need to provide a space where if there are complaints, you address them immediately. If there's conflict and issues, you're adept to do that, or at least capable of bringing individuals in to solve those conflicts. You're essentially creating norms where every person under your leadership matters, and that they feel as if they matter, and that other people under your leadership understand that everyone matters. So it's one thing to say, Everyone here matters. It's another thing for everyone in the room to embody and understand and agree that everyone matters. That is a psychologically safe workspace. I think a lot of women bring that because of whatever marginalized experiences they may have had, or hurdles that they've had to overcome to become leaders in their space and in their industry. There are some who set that aside. And so I think we don't want to assume that women are better at creating psychologically safe spaces, but we do want to lean into some of the what people call soft skills, that women in leadership positions have been said to bring to their leadership style.

Abby Mercado:
So it's like drawing conclusions here. So in order to have true psychological safety in the workplace, you have to have equity and equality. And women make up 50% of the workforce, and if that's not represented in corporations and organizations, one would argue that there's not enough psychological safety in the workplace, which then affects the mental health of people, which then affects the physical health ... It's just, it's unending. So give us some thoughts about females in the workforce and females in leadership positions, right on there.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
I did my research for the healthcare space. So I hope that this is okay. But there's 32% of women in leadership positions in healthcare, which is amazing, right?

Abby Mercado:
It's awesome, yeah.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
It's not enough. They're outpacing other industries. 75% of entry-level workers in the healthcare and wellness space are women. 66% of managers and 58% of senior managers or directors are women. One thing I'll say we need to work on is only 4% of C-suite healthcare executives are women of color. So there's a lot of work and I've found these stats on the, you know, Women in the Workplace 2022 report with McKinsey and LeanIn. There's a lot of work that needs to be done, because if we're talking about 75% of entry-level workers, but only 32% of leadership, and then out of that, only 4% are women of color, we really need to think like, Yay, let's celebrate that this space has more women in it. However, we want more women leading. We want more women taking the helm and like guiding the direction in the future and the innovation of the health and wellness space. More, more, more, more, more, more. Because 32% is not a good, you know. 75 to 32, wow, there's a lot of work to be done. And what happens, right? Like, I think the conversation that we have at the FQ is, what happens from entry-level to manager to senior manager to leadership?

Abby Mercado:
I can tell you, I think we all know.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
You know, we got the motherhood penalty. You know, we have women who are caught in middle management. We also just have to, like, overcome the biases of what is possible, like when a woman is leading an organization, right? I think that there are still hurdles to overcome when it comes to a woman CEO, which is of a global corporation, which it's 2023. And so I think the work we do at the FQ, whether it's in the healthcare space or any industry, we're really thinking about and challenging industries to create these pipelines that reinforce a way through for these women. Think, we're thinking also like, What, again, are the supports that need to be in place? Not all women have children, but childcare is a huge issue for many, many women who aspire to be leaders. So thinking about that.

Abby Mercado:
Yeah. It's insane. It's like, I, four-year-old twins and I have spent...

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
You're doing the Lord's work.

Abby Mercado:
Doing the Lord's work. But I spent so much more, I think I spent 3x more on taking care of them in their first two years of life than I do now. There in or out, we have a universal pre-K program in the state of Colorado, which is huge, you know. We have after-school care, but it's mind-boggling. And those, on those first couple of years, yes, they need more support, I get it. But it's just really, really difficult to be a working mother. Like straight up, it just is. There is absolutely no way around it. And I think a lot of women are still there. I think we've made a lot of progress in the last few years, but there's so much anxiety around that pregnancy and postpartum period, and it is just so detrimental. If women aren't healthy mentally, then nobody's healthy.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
I think that that is great. That was at the core. So again, I keep going back to our LinkedIn, Power of the Pack Conversations, but we had one on improving pregnancy policies and pregnancy experiences in the workplace. And you're absolutely right, that 0 to 5 time period, and yes, we have federal laws now that are doing better at protecting pregnant people and ensuring that they have the safety support that they need but it's still not enough. And you're absolutely right that no matter what level, whether it's at the executive level all the way to the entry-level, women or individuals who get pregnant are still experiencing that anxiety of, Okay, my job and my family. And so how do we work through that, right?

Abby Mercado:
Totally. And it's women at the prime of their careers. It's like, you're in your 30s, you have so much energy, you're ready to go, you're finally at a place in your career where you're like, OFG, like, let's do this. And then to achieve your dreams of building a family. And then, but to also have this dream of building a badass career for yourself and to have those two things collide and not be able to coincide with one another, is really something that we have to fix. And I'm so, I think that the cool thing about the FQ is there is no like, access issue with the FQ. Like, anybody can consume the FQ content, right?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
To us people.

Abby Mercado:
No, it's true. So there's no membership fee, like, it's accessible. It's not some club you can't be a part of if you want to be educated, if you want to feel like you have community, pick these guys up, so.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Yes, yes. Come to us, yes.

Abby Mercado:
Well, so to dive into a little bit more of like the physical health. So I know that you have some passions around the reproductive health conversation and how imbalanced it is. So, I guess, tell us a little bit more about some of these, like ridiculous "inequities" that you see and I'll tell you ... that one. I think I probably agree.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Listen, I'm thinking about this as my life as a former health teacher who taught fifth and sixth-grade health. So as you imagine, I did teach with the school nurse, you know, human sexuality. And I literally am obsessed with the way that the reproductive health conversation is. It is quite imbalanced from my perspective. We approach male reproductive health from a vantage point of pleasure and sustainability and longevity, where we approach women's reproductive health through the lens of choice, which is an absolutely necessary angle to look at it, but that's not the only angle. So we are having, in my opinion, women carry a lot of the contraception conversation when we really need to be thinking like, what about women's pleasure? What about male contraception? Can we figure out?

Abby Mercado:
Can we balance this equation out a little bit?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Right. You know, it can't just be one side gets to have all of the fun conversations and the other side gets all the responsibility conversation, and so that to me is the ridiculous inequality.

Abby Mercado:
Yeah, absolutely. There's these, like, two components. It's really simple. How can you make these two really important components by having sex, like, how do you make that balance? Straight up, it's that simple. So, I mean there's some amazing startups in my space. There's some amazing pharmaceutical companies doing some great work in the male contraceptive space, but it's like we need more funding. We need more funding. We need more people talking about this for sure.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
I'm cheering for them on the sideline. I'm like, You can do this!

Abby Mercado:
Yes. So as somebody who is very, I mean, you're an expert in civic engagement and raising up voices that are marginalized. So tell us, like, how can we make conversations about women's health and wellness just bigger and better?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Yeah. Expanding the table or even questioning, Should even be a table that we're all sitting around? That would be the first. But like, obviously, you know, we want to elevate the voices and perspectives. And this is from the standpoint of the FQ, like, of women, and especially those with marginalized experiences. Begin this conversation earlier, so this is an Amber point. I really, truly believe that parents can be a part of this when mobilized properly. We see when parents are not mobilized properly and that does a lot of harm. So there's power in mobilizing parents, giving them the tools and resources they need to have open conversations with their kids about health and wellness. Start early.

Abby Mercado:
And this is a woman who literally taught Sex Ed. Like, she did, which is amazing.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Like, seriously, it's not weird. Literally, from the moment my kids could really understand, we began to have age-appropriate conversations about wellness and health and even reproductive health. Encourage more men to seek wellness and mental health support while in relationship with other men. I think we tell a lot of people, Go to counseling, go to counseling, it's going to be great. That is, yes, go to counseling, right? And also, if you need meds, yes, right? But I think that community healing and hearing, Hey, you're a dude in isolation and this other dude is also in isolation and that dude is too. How about you all share your feelings in a group therapy session? I think that would be helpful, right?

Abby Mercado:
Like, in your video game chat, like, I don't care where, just like, talk about it.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Like, Dude, did you get outside to get some vitamin D today? Yeah, yeah. Awesome. Me too, right? You know, like, men's wellness accountability partners, I want someone to make an app for that. Like, I would support that. And then the last thing that I would say is just, we think of life in these binaries, but we need to destigmatize conversations around gender, sexual health, and pleasure. Can we please break those barriers down so that we can have some real, meaningful conversations about the future of life as a human on Earth? So.

Abby Mercado:
Yeah. Love that, Amber. Thanks, Amber. Well, so as we're closing up our podcast, so, you know, I'm going to ask you to pick favorites, but what's one thing that you would want Rescripted about women's health and wellness?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Let's empower patients. Let's make sure that patients feel as if they're a part of their journey, making sure that they're heard. I think a lot of women are gaslit into believing that health issues are either all in their head, or that nothing's really wrong with them, or I don't know how many times I've been asked, Is it related to your menstrual cycle? And it's like, Is it? I don't know. I think putting people at the center of the care and making them feel as if they're a partner in the care is something I'd love for us to rescript, yeah.

Abby Mercado:
Amazing. Well so, Amber, where can people find you if they want to talk to you and get some more of your wisdom? And where can people learn a little bit more about the FQ and, you know, fortunately, check out some of the ... and events that are amazing?

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
So find me on LinkedIn. I'm just Amber Coleman-Mortley. My DMs are always open, so yay to that. My other social media channels are on pause because my podcast is. But I would definitely say, follow the Female Quotient on Instagram, on LinkedIn specifically, and we're also on X, former Twitter.

Abby Mercado:
Twitter. What is that? Oh yeah, I forgot.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Right. And well, there was a point in my life that I was a Twitter influencer, and now I'm just like, I don't know what I am anymore.

Abby Mercado:
Oh no, I don't know what, yeah, I don't know what to do anywhere.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
But I'd say, you know, I'm like, follow the Female Quotient. Check out our live events. So if you are going to South by Southwest or AdWeek, or if you end up at Cannes Lions or Davos or whatever, come hang out with us in the Equality Lounge, we'd love to have you. Sign up for our newsletter and join me at Power of the Pack on LinkedIn, live on Tuesdays. Love to have it. So yeah, that's it. That is it.

Abby Mercado:
Amazing. Well, Amber, it has just been such a joy having you on the podcast today. I've really just loved getting to know you. You're so inspiring, and thank you for imparting your wisdom on the Rescripted community today, and I'm sure we'll talk soon.

Amber Coleman-Mortley:
Yes, Abby, equality is everybody's business. Pleasure talking to you too.
