Jamia Wilson is many things: an activist, a feminist, a storyteller, a media-maker and a thought leader. But more than anything, she is a truth teller. In this podcast, you experience the full power and spectrum of Jamia’s feminist truth and perspective. And what I found most compelling in our conversation was her ability to be both brave and vulnerable at the same time. Jamia isn’t afraid to get uncomfortable, to tackle tough issues and to hold the complexity of our intersectionality. The deeper that we're willing to go within ourselves - in our own ability not just to speak the truth, but to know it - the more we can hold the truth for others.

More about this episode:

What I really appreciate about Jamia Wilson is that she is never afraid to “go there” - to talk about the tough stuff, the issues that make people uncomfortable, to confront one another with love. But as we discuss in this podcast, speaking truth to power isn’t just something we fling around. It’s a skill set that we cultivate and channel. To build the muscle of authentic and courageous communication requires self awareness, a commitment to relationship and a curiosity and consciousness about how we got here and what it’s gonna take to change.

And that is the perfect superpower for Jamia who is an activist, author and the executive director of the Feminist Press. Jamia is not just known for her provocative words, but is becoming the go-to interviewer for provocative conversations with some of the the biggest feminist icons of our time including Solange, Erykah Badu and the legend herself Congresswoman Maxine Waters.

Jamia recalled some of what she’s learned from this lineage of feminists saying “it’s not just about reclaiming your time but about reclaiming your power.” In this interview, she challenges us to contemplate how we can be more fearless about leaning into our purpose, trusting our instincts and channeling our power. Powerful advice from a powerful woman.
