#Episode 4 - Mayu Yoshida (Japan)

#Episode 4 - Mayu Yoshida (Japan)

The MIC traveled all the way to Japan to talk with Mayu Yoshida. Mayu was a news correspondent, anchor, and reporter for Thomson Reuters and Reuters news agency in Japan until she decided to become a freelance reporter.

She's one of the co-founders of 'Women in Journalism' in Japan with a mission to spread diversity in newsrooms across the country and besides all of that, she's also a mom of three children.

Her life as a TV Journalist was quite hectic as she managed to juggle long working hours and being a mom. As much as she loved her job as a reporter she knew she was ready for the next step. That's when she decided to quit her job and focus on her family.
The key to a balanced life is to organize your schedule as well as your living space.
"Hiring a professional organizer was something that was one of the best decisions that I've made this year"
As the Co-Founder of Women in Journalism in Japan, Mayu is still working to get more diversity into Japanese newsrooms.
“Gender inequality remains a very serious issue in Japan. Women in Japan are less likely to be hired as full-time staff and on average we earn less. We want to change that on a more personal level.”
At WJJ she holds on-air seminars and webinars where she encourages male and female news reporters to help increase diversity.
Listen to the podcast to get to know insights about the work-life balance for women in Japan and how it has changed over the years, and learn more about Mayu's decision to not adhere to the Japanese norm for stay-at-home moms.

Her best advice to women who struggle with balancing work- and family life:
“Dedicate your time and do what you love. Then maybe the time will come. What matters at the end of the day is the happiness of the family"

Happy listening!

Let's find your next bag. Tell us what you're looking for:

Pyramid or Midi Pyramid?

TALKING SIZES

Having difficulty choosing between the Pyramid and the slightly smaller-sized Midi Pyramid?
This blog page highlights all the differences.

Find the size that is right for you.

You are looking for a work bag? Good!

Both sizes are built for work life, with dedicated compartments for your laptop and all other office essentials so you will never forget your valuables again. Commute or travel in peace thanks to the zipper closure that keeps your belongings safe and secure.


The key question: how big is your laptop?

The Pyramid fits laptops up to 15.6 inches (diagonal screen size) with a maximum horizontal width of 14.1 inches, while the Midi Pyramid fits laptops up to 13.5 inches (diagonal screen size) with a maximum horizontal width of 12.8 inches.

Because screen borders vary by brand, we recommend measuring your laptop's physical width rather than going by screen size alone.

MIDI PYRAMID >

Choose the Midi Pyramid if you carry a laptop with a width up to 12.8 inch and the everyday essentials — phone, wallet, chargers, and the occasional A4 notepad or folder. Everything fits, without the extra weight.

Choose the Pyramid if you work on a wider laptop or regularly carry multiple files and folders.

One thing to keep in mind: a bigger bag tends to get heavier, because more space means more things. Women under 5'4" in the #KAAICOMMUNITY often prefer the Midi Pyramid for exactly that reason: a KAAI bag should make your day easier, not heavier.
