Homegirl Nation
Being a woman has never been easy and when the going gets tough, we can all use a homegirl to lean on. Join entertainment host Brigitte Truong each week as she meets with courageous guests who have found their lane despite the odds. From business failures to mental health, sex to hate crimes, the candid discussions you hear will give you a new perspective on how freeing and empowering it can be when you own your story. Let’s make it easier to talk about tough things when it comes to womanhood because when we do, we’ll see that we’re more alike and connected than we think.

#67 Nam Kiwanuka | The Courage to Be Seen
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today’s conversation feels like a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and what it really means to show up for yourself.
We have a snowflake of a woman and it's award winning journalist Nam Kiwanuka! In this hangout, we talk about what it really means to step into your voice especially when the world has told you, time and time again, that you don’t quite belong. From Nam’s early days at MuchMusic to the powerful work she’s doing now with TVO and (MIS)Treated - a podcast that exposes how the healthcare system has long overlooked women, Nam reflects on the courage it takes to be seen, the lessons shaped by her upbringing, and how she’s learning to trust herself in a whole new way.
Get ready for a very gratifying conversation about change, being your own biggest supporter, and finding power not in what you can control, but in how you respond.
I have personally been a big fan of Nam’s since she gave us RAP CITY - if you know you know!
Let’s hang out, homegirls!
