Sara Hirsh Bordo, Award-Winning Filmmaker & Founder of Women Rising, shared the story behind her title with us on June 26, 2024.

Of the interview, our founder and host, Sue Rocco, says:

“Listen in as I sit down with Sara to talk about her upbringing in a big traditional Lebanese family, how she always felt pulled to explore the world outside that family, and what led her to dive deep into her own health journey in order to find the connection between autoimmune disease and empowerment.”
