Shattered Glass

NBC’s This is Us is known to bring us all to tears. Whether it’s Jack having a perfect dad moment or Beth, we can thank Kay Oyegun for giving us all the feels. Kay Oyegun has writing credits for This is Us, Queen Sugar, and soon a biopic about the remarkable story of our shero, Angela Davis. Monica and Marita chatted with Kay about her move from Nigeria to the US, how she’s going to get more women in the writer’s room with her, and her favorite character to write for on This is Us! Can you guess what TV show helped her learn English all those years ago when she moved here? HINT: They’ll be there for you.

Women's healthcare could use some help, wouldn't you agree? More American women are dying of pregnancy-related complications than any other developed country.  That isn't right. Monica and Marita sit down with Christine Haas, to learn all about The Midwife Center in Pittsburgh, PA - the largest freestanding birthing center in the country! Christine is the Executive Director of the Midwife Center and she's got the full scoop on what the heck a Midwife center even is and how they're entirely focused on making maternal health better for all of us. What we were especially excited about this place is the ways that they're empowering women to care for their whole selves!

If you aren't local to the Pittsburgh region, there are so many around the country! Visit the American Association of Birth Centers website to find a birthing center near you.

Season 2 is here! We're kicking it off by talking to Hannah Ishizaki - the youngest female composer to ever have a piece played by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra! She's 17, plays dozens of instruments, and has a real knack for composing beautiful pieces that make us all swoon. This is an ESPECIALLY special episode because Monica & Marita are hosting the Fierce and Female concert and this interview is a little taste of what 6th graders across the region are going to hear live! Stick around to the end of the episode to hear Hannah's piece, City of Bridges, being played by the Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra.

The summer is winding down and so is Season 1 of Shattered Glass. So for our final episode of this season, we sat down with Dominique Luster. Dominique is the archivist for the Teenie Harris Archive and the first person to hold an endowed archivist position at the Carnegie Museum of Art (insert shattered glass sound effect here). She talks with us about Teenie's lens on life in the 1930s to 1970s, what has and hasn't changed about the role of women, and her resolution to represent people with integrity in the archivist profession. Plus, Marita puts in a request for men to wear suits to the grocery store.
