Melissa Washington:

Melissa is an Award-winning advocate, speaker, author, entrepreneur, CEO, publisher, and proud Navy veteran. In 2015, Melissa founded Women Veterans Alliance—a national organization that seeks to empower and positively impact the lives of women veterans. Three years later, she established the nonprofit wing of WVA, Women Veterans Giving. Both entities offer women veterans opportunities to gain valuable career experience and successfully integrate back into civilian life. WVG also helps fund women veteran-owned businesses, which are often overlooked by other organizations. In 2021, Melissa expanded her role in the community by co-founding Women Veterans Magazine—the first publication of its kind to serve California’s more than 165,000 women veterans. Launching in January 2022, the annual magazine speaks to the issues that affect women veterans, while providing them with local and national resources.

Rahaleh Nassri

Rahaleh is an actor, writer, and director based in New York. She was born in Iran and raised in South Carolina, with brief stints in France and Switzerland. She speaks four

 languages. Her predilection for political and classical works led her to work on productions such as In Darfur, A Bright Room Called Day, Benedictus, The Disputation, Hannah and Martin, Rock N Roll, Caligula, Julius Caesar, Much Ado About Nothing, Titus Andronicus, and Romeo & Juliet. Rahaleh has a BA in International Affairs and an MFA in Classical Acting.

Today she is the host of Violent Femme. Violent Femme is a podcast about women in history. Women who were brave, bold, and ingenious. Yet, these women, are mostly remembered for their brutality or villainy, sometime not at all. Each episode will resurrect one of history’s brutally brave women whose image has been tarnished or even erased by those who fear such women but have long been entrusted with our history. Violent Femme will retell and sometimes reimagine history from the heroine’s perspective.
