A Leader amongst 23,000 Grandmothers!
Jolly Babirukamu, affectionately known as Kaaka Jolly – is one of those leaders who brings light into the world – motivating and mobilizing with boundless energy and deep insights. She is a teacher, Grandmother of 30 grandchildren, and a leader amongst the community of 23,037 Grandmothers at Nyaka, Uganda (founded by visionary Twesigye Jackson Kaguri 23 years ago, first known to me as an early partner of the Stephen Lewis Foundation). Nyaka is a community-led organization that was founded in response to the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS, and provides free education to children who have lost one or both parents to AIDS, is a part of the Grandmothers Consortium in Uganda, and with resilient and compassioante leaders like Kaaka Jolly, will never waver.Support the show
31 min - “Wherever you are on this journey… you are welcome!"
Three powerful voices: Rosalind Pollack Petchesky, Esther Farmer, and Pam Sporn. For decades they fought Israel's Occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, defying dismissal and disrespect from the mainstream community. Now these elderwomen are chaining themselves to the White House fence and taking to the streets to protest the genocide. Their insights are poignant, fierce, challenging and often raucously funny! They are modeling grit, intelligence, compassion, and how to mobilize around the "horror and the hope" of this moment.

55 min - A Love Affair with CEDAW and Gender Equality: In Conversation with Alda Facio
Meet Alda Facio, a feminist activist, educator, creator and jurist whose work has influenced thinking about women's rights from Costa Rica to the United Nations. In this episode, Alda talks about her love affair with the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and her 2 decades working with multitudes of women's human rights activists in the excellent Women's Human Rights Institute! Her pioneering efforts light the way to show us how the law can be harnessed as a formidable tool for justice and advocacy, and how a U. N. Convention can unite women across generations and geographies to bring about meaningful change. Drawing on the inspiring activism of the Mothers and Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, we discuss how love and older women's determination and stature can be powerful catalysts for achieving social justice and equality. With warmth and irrepressible humour, Alda brings us insights about human rights activism and personal revelations that delight and enlighten.

32 min - Louise Lamothe - Reflections and resonance: from healing, to the dancing lens and bringing colour to colour-less spaces
Join me for an intimate conversation with Louise Lamothe, a Swampy Cree grandmother and great-grandmother, whose story is a testament to the healing journeys and deep insights older women and Indigenous ways of knowing and being have to teach us. There is so much to learn from Louise, as she shares stories of her work as a palliative care nurse around the world, integrating Indigenous practices to nurture spaces of compassion and reciprocity. Her profound wisdom on ceremony, connection, and respect for the land offers invaluable lessons on bridging gaps created by historical trauma from colonial harms, and creating the possiblity of healing.
Louise's travels alongside the many lives of those she has touched, whether in palliative care, or the study and practice of Indigenized expressive arts therapy, and the reflections she shares are deeply moving explorations of love, loss, reclamation, and the enduring healing power of older women's wisdom for all of us, now and into the future.Support the show
