12 year-old Lillian and her mom Karen have a relationship that is grounded in mutual trust and a shared passion for female empowerment. In this episode, we talk about how moms and daughters can build stronger bonds by allowing one another to express feelings openly while celebrating and challenging one another’s perspectives. We dive into what they each envision for the future of gender equality, why fighting for empowerment is critical even when it’s exhausting, and the importance of patience and grace.
