Antoinette Lattouf is an award winning journalist, presenter, podcaster, author and human rights advocate whose surname has now become a verb - Lattoufed: to be sacked or silenced for defending human rights.
Her landmark victory in Lattouf v ABC, became a flashpoint in debates about free speech, employee rights, institutional cowardice, and what happens when a journalist speaks truth to (media) power.
She's the co-creator of independent media company Ette Media, co-founder of Media Diversity Australia, a TEDx speaker, and a regular fixture on lists like the AFR's 100 Women of Influence and Marie Claire's Women of the Year . Antoinette has also won a host of media, leadership and human rights awards.
Her first book, How to Lose Friends and Influence White People, somehow won her friends. Her second book, Women Who Win is an exploration of Australian women who glanced at the rulebook, chuckled, and used it as a coaster while rewriting the terms and deciding for themselves what victory looks like.
Known for wielding humour like a weapon - equal parts shield and scalpel - Lattouf's work spans commercial and public broadcasting, boardrooms, courtrooms, and the occasional Murdoch media pile-on. And no, she's not done yet.
