Women Making History: How Anita Dunn gives back from the pinnacle of her political career

Former Senior Advisor to President Biden and White House Communications Director ANITA DUNN began her career as an intern under President Carter. Despite having few female role models at the beginning, Dunn prioritized breaking the mold of male-dominated Capitol Hill. Today, Dunn takes an active role in the career development of women in politics, but does not label her efforts mentorship: “Although I’m happy to mentor anybody who wants to walk through my door to get some advice, I’m a huge believer in sponsorship… a very active role in somebody’s career. It’s not just, ‘I’m going to give you advice, but I’m going to actively promote you. When I see an opening, I’m going to push you for that opening.’”
