Women And Resistance
"Women And Resistance" is a groundbreaking podcast celebrating the courage, resilience, and revolutionary spirit of women across the globe.
Each episode hosted by Aya Fubara Eneli and Adesoji Iginla will uncover untold stories of resistance against systemic oppression—be it colonialism, racism, sexism, or economic disenfranchisement. Through deep conversations, historical narratives, and contemporary analysis.
The podcast will amplify the voices of trailblazers, freedom fighters, and community builders whose legacies should be known, because many either never got their dues or have faded into obscurity.
From the bold defiance of Winnie Mandela and Fannie Lou Hamer to the activism of modern leaders like Mia Mottley and grassroots organizers like Wangari Maathai,
"Women And Resistance" illuminates the transformative power of women in shaping a more just world.
This is a call to honor the past, embrace the present, and apply the lessons for a more empowered future.
