Creating legacy and generational change:
A chat with Ginny Lam
In today’s episode of the Mom Camp: Around the Campfire podcast, I am chatting with Ginny Lam, co-founder of Kidtropolis. Ginny shares her experiences growing up in an immigrant Chinese Canadian family, and the impact of the traditional gender roles her mother enforced.
You will hear about Ginny’s ongoing legal case, as she fights against gender bias in inheritance rights. Her story is incredibly powerful and inspiring as she works to change cultural gender bias against women. It’s a long, complicated, and heavy journey to take on, but Ginny is passionate about creating lasting change for her family and future generations.
Her courage both sets an example and builds a legacy, and I am so grateful to her for sharing her story.
