In this episode of Boss Files, we can't break this glass ceiling, and we've tried so many different things.

Meet Reshma Saujani. She founded girls who code, but admits she had no idea how to code at the time.

Fast forward to today, and more than 30,000 girls have graduated from the program.

Why she thinks girls will use technology differently to solve big problems. If you think about right now the companies that many male entrepreneurs have built,

I often feel like they're building companies to replace their mothers.

It's a controversial position for sure. We dive into that and wait until you hear what all these girls are achieving and building as they work to create a more equal world.

Here's my conversation with Reshma Saojani.

Rushma, thank you for being here.

Thank you for having me.

I've read for years about what you've done and sort of been in awe of it from afar,

so it's great to get to meet you in person.

You're the power behind girls who code, and before we get to the details of that,

I'm interested as a young woman, as a young mother, and someone who's

passionate about this, what would you say drives you? Hmm. I think what drives me is I'm the

daughter of refugees, and this country literally saved my parents' life. And I think probably since

the time I was 12 years old, I wanted to give back.

And so I looked for that opportunity in politics.

I didn't find it.

And I have found it in creating an army of young women who are going to be change agents through code.

Your parents, refugees from Uganda, and you've spoken about your father specifically and the

books that he used to read to you, Dr. Martin Luther King, Gandhi, people you call incredible

change agents.
