High On Feminism
Webby-nominated, independently produced podcast High On Feminism (HOF), launched in Brooklyn, NY in November 2020, boasting a line-up of bold founders, creators, and changemakers across media, fashion, cannabis, and the arts. Sharing unfiltered conversations about ambition, reinvention, and modern leadership, the initial seasons featured the likes of Author & Poet, Jasmine Mans; Film & Creative Director, TT the Artist; Dr. Locs Founder, Chimere Faulk; Sad Girls Club Creator, Elyse Fox; Fashion Designer, Kasha Reavis; and Best-Selling Author, Nikki Vargas (among others). Created by longtime Publicist and Creative Director, Jess Poulin, HOF has helped spotlight womxn shaping culture, disrupting industries, and redefining success on their own terms, while also advocating for the use of Cannabis, and the educational side of the industry for female consumers.
With a global audience of over 3K listeners across the U.S., Germany, Spain, Australia, Ghana, Mexico, and more, High On Feminism has continued to champion female-owned and femme-forward brands, tackling important conversations around access and agency, especially for BIPOC founders and womentrepreneurs in industries where they've been historically sidelined.
In February 2025, HOF host, Jess Poulin, relocated to Barcelona, Spain where she recorded the podcast's fifth season from Juno House -- Barcelona's first and ONLY women-owned and operated social and networking club. Featuring all Juno women members, Season 5 explored cross-cultural perspectives on business, wellness, and womxn's empowerment, along with creating community as an Ex-pat.
Looking for inspiration, honesty, and an authentic behind-the-scenes look into what it takes to create impact today as a female founder? High On Feminism is where ambition meets audacity, and womxn build their own table!
