As women, a lot of emphasis is put on how we look. From our weight to our height, our hair length to the way we dress, we are judged and ridiculed. In this episode, host Ayesha is joined by close friend and frequent guest Kyla Mitchell-Marquis to discuss an essay titled “The Male Gaze”, touching on how women are portrayed in advertisements. Listen in as they explain how the male gaze denies women their human identity, dehumanizing and objectifying them. Remember, beauty is so much more than how you look, the make-up you wear and the clothing you have.

We’ve all been there, someone is eyeing you up or is doing something that is making you feel incredibly awkward. Do you smile? Do you grimace? What’s the right thing to do? And how do we talk about it? In this episode, host Ayesha is joined by frequent guest and long-term friend Kyla Mitchell-Marquis to discuss that “creepy feeling” you get from certain people and why it’s not about sexualization, it’s about power. Listen in as they share their personal stories of having consent boundaries crossed and debate whether you should be silent or stand up for yourself in those uncomfortable situations.

Some people will never respect you, no matter what you do. I have recently had several conversations with males, that feel as though they are in power, regardless of whether they are or not. It has made me appreciate what the women before me have done and what those that will come after me will have to do. In this episode, I will be discussing the “survival mode” that we as women are made to work under and the pressures we face simply because of the gender we are. If you are someone who is not working in a male dominant industry, this may be an eye-opening topic for you.
