What is this podcast about?
We often hear people saying, “I knew I could do this….” or “I always wanted to be…” Some people early on discover their voice while others take years to find their core strengths.
I have never heard a less impactful story, just like no journey is less painful than the other. We all (women) are the protagonist of our stories, and we are 'heroes' of our lives.
These stories are inspirational because we all suffered from some form of discrimination, harassment, and the glass ceiling despite hard work.
Episode Summary
Dr. Ayesha Ray is Associate Professor, Department of Political Science, King's College, Pennsylvania. She is the author of several publications. Her book "The Soldier and the State in India: Nuclear Weapons, Counterinsurgency, and the Transformation of Indian Civil-Military Relations" was widely covered in the Indian press.
This episode is an open conversation with Dr. Ayesha Ray on her personal and professional life. As a bold female scholar of South Asian descent also working on national security issues, Dr. Ray is an inspiration to young women who aspire to work and pursue their careers. Dr. Ray is vocal about her opinions on patriarchy and misogyny on social media. This episode takes on the opportunity to inquire about her views on the evolving debate of feminism. Her journey shares that 'woman with ambition' like Ayesha Ray can overcome professional obstacles if women are confident of their unapologetic self and stand up for themselves against the unjust treatment or environment.
