Why I Lean In and become a feminist | Rena Suzuki | TEDxYouth@Tokyo

Rena talks about how she became aware of the social norms towards women in Japan and how she leans in against these norms, inviting people to join the feminist movement for a truly gender equal society. After graduating from Keio University, Rena started working in Singapore and after experiencing the industry abroad, moved back to Japan to work for the Investment Banking Division at Merrill Lynch Japan Securities. No sooner had she adjusted to work in Japan had she realized that in such a male dominant industry, there was a need for women in earlier stages of their career to know how to ‘lean in’ to their career and receive mental support from their surroundings. (the term “Lean In“ comes from Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg’s book, “Lean In“) As a result, Rena founded Lean In Tokyo, which promotes gender equality in Japan and provides support and an environment for women to “Lean In“ for themselves and for each other. Lean In Tokyo has 250 members now including men and women that actively promote leaning in for women’s success in society. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
