Event Description

About the Event

Join us for a candid and empowering conversation about money, equity, and transparency with Hannah Williams, creator of Salary Transparent Street, and Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K. They are changing the way we talk about compensation, challenging long-standing taboos around money, and advocating for systems that value all forms of labor.

In this Fresh Talk, Williams and Dunlap unpack the deep-rooted wage inequities that affect women across industries, with a focus on how these disparities show up in the arts and cultural sectors. They explore the power of transparency as a tool for structural change, the importance of financial literacy as a form of liberation, and what it means to build a sustainable and equitable creative life in an economy that has historically devalued women’s contributions.

Following the conversation, attendees are invited to a salon-style cocktail reception to continue the conversation from 7 to 8 pm.
