Her professional background includes co-founding Have Her Back, an initiative dedicated to women's empowerment, and leading equity initiatives for major brands, demonstrating her expertise in diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Drawing on her experiences in corporate America, Gallagher addresses internal barriers women face and advocates for authentic community-building. Her ongoing efforts to promote her book and engage influential women highlight her commitment to visibility and collective progress in women's leadership and workplace equity.
