    ShiftMakers is a great listen for anyone looking to be inspired by the stories of women who have created powerful and valuable shifts in our society. I recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn more about what it takes to become a shift maker in our society, and, if I had a young daughter, I would want to make sure that I listen to some of the episodes while she was in the car with me.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Will It Take To Make A Woman President: 2024
Q: Why do you think we haven't had a woman president?
Many believe it's tied to perceptions of traditional leadership being male-dominated, alongside the need for more women at the top of business and politics.
Racial Justice In a Gender Equal World
Q: How can everyone play a role in building this world that we've been envisioning?
Getting back into the habit of coming together, creating human mechanisms for creating change rather than thinking that transformation is going to be digital, virtual, or automated.
Racial Justice In a Gender Equal World
Q: How do you view the value of storytelling in creating change, particularly for Black women?
Efforts to raise awareness and consciousness have to begin with the story, asserting the humanity of those affected and showing the significance of the problem.
Racial Justice In a Gender Equal World
Q: What would a world where intersectional justice is truly gender equal look like?
That world you couldn't predict. You couldn't predict who was going to be president and who was not. You couldn't predict how parenthood, active parenthood was going to shape career outcomes or not.
A Conversation with Anita Hill
Q: What is your call to action between now and election day?
Beyond voting, it’s important to engage in conversations about fundamental issues such as bodily autonomy and be part of the election process before election day.
