As an award-winning on-air commentator and diversity, equity and inclusion advocate, Adrienne Lawrence does more than just talk. In fact, she does a lot of everything—and she does it well.

The former “big law” litigator is passionate about reaching minds and audiences through informative, thought-provoking conversation—particularly on matters impacting women and people of color in their professional lives. After going public in 2017 about the rampant sexual harassment, misogynoir and gender discrimination at her former employer ESPN, and subsequently becoming the first on-air personality to sue ESPN for sexual harassment, Adrienne wrote Staying in the Game: The Playbook for Beating Workplace Sexual Harassment, a first-of-its-kind survival guide published by Penguin Random House’s TarcherPerigee on May 12, 2020. Staying in the Game has been heralded as “a must-read for any woman in any workplace” and “[a] highly readable and informative introduction to managing workplace harassment.”

Adrienne’s coveted insight on gender and racial parity issues and unique legal analysis are frequently cited in leading publications, from the Los Angeles Times to the Chicago Tribune to USA Today. Adrienne also has penned pieces for the Harvard Business Review, Ms. magazine, Betches, ESPN.com, The Undefeated, and other outlets.

When she’s not writing on diversity and equity, Adrienne is engaging audiences online and in person. She can be seen as a regular host and legal analyst on The Young Turks where she connects with audiences in a new digital segment called Overruled. She also contributes her insight to outlets such as NPR and Buzzfeed. Adrienne makes time to share her knowledge to groups at forums such as South by Southwest (SXSW), The Amber Rose Los Angeles Slutwalk, Women’s Media Center Progressive Women’s Voices, among others. She also frequently speaks at colleges and universities in the U.S. and abroad.
