In this captivating episode, I invite you to join us as we delve into the extraordinary life and work of Eshe Lewis. As a researcher focusing on the experiences of Afro-descendant women in Peru, Eshe has dedicated herself to illuminating their stories and challenges. Alongside her role as the host of the fifth season of the podcast Sapiens, she leads the innovative Sapiens Public School Training Program.

With a Ph.D. in cultural anthropology from the University of Florida, Eshe's passion lies in collaborating with Afro-descendant communities in Peru. Over the past decade, she has worked tirelessly on social movements, women's issues, Black feminism, and gender violence.

Eshe's impact is palpable within these communities, exemplified by the groundbreaking 2015 study she conducted on Afro-Peruvian women's experiences with intimate partner violence and state-run Women's Emergency Centers.

Join me as we talk about Eshe's research and her personal journey.
