Driven By Community: Pay Equity and Poetry For All

Driven by Community is Modo’s podcast for members who care about shared mobility and strong communities.

In our March episode, we discuss the importance of gender pay equity and International Women’s Day with Modo’s People & Culture Director, Frederika Renaud. We also speak to one of the co-founders of TCC (The Cleaning Co-op), Hayley Postlethwaite. TCC is a worker’s co-op that doesn’t just put people over profit, but also focuses on how profit for people and workers can transform lives. Lastly, we interview Leslie Hertig, artistic director of the Vancouver Writers Festival, about poetry in an accessible and enjoyable way.
