Season 1 is a wrap! And we're highlighting all that we've discussed this year. Listen for a summary of our powerful SHE guests - and a look at what's to come! SHEs everywhere, this one's for you.

Brooke Lopez and Adrianna Maberry are co-founders of The Lone Star Parity Project, a non-partisan initiative dedicated to sharing the stories of women and femmes in Texas politics to ensure political parity across all levels of government. As our first remote interview, these two trailblazers discuss their passions for using the power of story and data to impact the political climate, the idea and research behind voting centers, their own journeys on the campaign trail and how the lessons they’ve learned in the Lone Star State can be applied to countless races across our country and more. 

Dr. Lakisha Simmons, business intelligence and analytics expert, associate professor of information management systems at Belmont University and executive director of The Achiever Academy, spends her days teaching -- both in and out of the classroom. We'll discuss her dedication to education, her belief in the power of mentoring young women as they work to understand just how powerful they are, how she's transforming access to period products in Nashville (and beyond!) and her successful career in business technology.  

Dr. Anjali Forber-Pratt, assistant professor at Vanderbilt University and a Team USA medalist, has dedicated her career to studying issues surrounding disability identity, equality and empowerment for all individuals. We’ll discuss her incredibly successful and decorated athletic career, her work with identity and inclusion, her lengthy battle through a 4-year disability discrimination lawsuit, and the intersection of disability, race, gender and sports.

This month we're celebrating SHEs in Service and featuring Marjorie K. Eastman, a veteran SHE who dedicated 10 years of her life to our country as she served in the Army as an intelligence officer and commander. While in service, Marjorie was the No. 1 intelligence commander in Eastern Afghanistan.

Recently, Marjorie wrote and published The Frontline Generation: How We Served Post 9/11, a book that details her time in the field, while challenging its readers (and beyond) to choose to be part of what Marjorie has coined the Frontline Generation -- those of us who find a mission and decide to take action.

This month, we're focusing on LGBT+SHEs and featuring Dr. Marisa Richmond, Professor of history and women's and gender studies at MTSU, First Vice Chair of Metro Human Relations Commission and a Member of the Democratic National Committee (among many other things). Marisa has spent her life advocating for LGBT+ rights. We'll discuss her extensive and dedicated work, the ways in which all SHEs can advocate for transgender issues and the importance of intersectional identity. 

This month, we're celebrating miniSHES and featuring Nashville-based organization Girls to the Moon, a nonprofit dedicated to launching confident girls while creating a more inclusive community. We also speak with three local miniSHES about their own experiences, their SHEroes, what it's like to be a miniSHE in 2018 and more.
