Woman Being

The Woman Beings celebrate 100 episodes with Kelly Rose Lamb, host of the Bold podcast and founder of Hello Yello, a Vancouver-based nonprofit focused on sparking "authentic, human interaction, and spontaneous conversations." Kelly shares her background as an aspiring ordained minister and the obstacles she encountered as a woman in the church, how patriarchy and misogyny present themselves inside and outside of faith culture, and the ways in which people struggle to connect in the midst of culture wars and political tension. They discuss what it means to be a bold woman, and how feminism is as important as ever in today's society.
