Lending Privilege
summary
Defines three concrete actions: credibility lending (attach your name or platform to someone’s work—example: Leonard Nimoy securing equal pay for Nichelle Nichols; Colbert swapping seats with DeRay McKesson), access lending (get someone into rooms, budgets or conferences—Jessica Chastain forcing equal pay), and expertise lending (nominate or promote people into visible roles). Recommends tactical moves—bring a colleague to exec demos, send them to conferences, propose them for projects—and cites a striking claim: +30% female leadership correlates with +50% net revenue margin. Open-source logic: more eyeballs surface problems faster.
