About this episode

Welcome to Washday Woosah, BA Fam! It's the Sunday slow-down you need, something to listen to while you're doing the laundry, deep conditioning, or simply enjoying a nice quiet moment of relaxation before the Sunday scaries start to hit. 

If you needed a sign to play matchmaker for your friends, this episode is it! Gabrielle and I were "set up" by a mutual friend during the pandemic when he realized we were two media mavens juggling our careers and motherhood in New York and somehow had never crossed paths. Gabrielle is a multi-hyphenate who's lead communications at technology giants like Disney ABC, Comcast NBCUniversal, CBS Corporation and Amazon. She's a college professor at NYU and Columbia and a proud wife and mother of two.

Today, I got to dive deep with Gabrielle who shares her inspiring journey from humble beginnings in Los Angeles to becoming the Chief Communications Officer at Hachette Book Group. She discusses the importance of mentorship, the impact of her upbringing on her career, and the significance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Gabrielle also emphasizes the need for work-life balance, her financial strategies, and her commitment to teaching and empowering the next generation. The discussion highlights the challenges and triumphs of navigating a successful career while being a dedicated mother and partner.

I hope you're loving these Washday Woosah episodes as much as I am! If there's anyone in particular you'd love to hear from or a topic you'd like me to address, don't be shy! DM me at @brownambitionpodcast on IG or hit me up at brownambitionpodcast@gmail.com
