“We are here to change the conversation. The launch of this podcast highlights a shift in the equality movement; we’re no longer being told our stories back to us, we’re telling them ourselves. And we’re lifting up the people and communities that are so often marginalized by misogyny, racism, classism, and bigotry in our society.
