Having the opportunity to speak with Dr. Victoria Ann Hasson about the world of politics
from South Africa to the UK to Australia was a fascinating peek behind the veil of what
is similar worldwide and where the dramatic differences present themselves. Dr Hasson
spoke to her heart and soul commitment to helping women politicians to feel seen in
their experiences of navigating politics; seen in their experiences of trying to be a
soulful, connecting, and whole-hearted leader. Her hope is to enable women to feel
encouraged and supported and to know that their experiences genuinely matter - not
simply to people like Dr Hasson, but to society as a whole. Her approach to helping
women find their voice is rooted in articulating the truth of what it takes to deliver
democracy, to begin reshaping political society, innovating democracy, improving the
quality of democratic processes, and reimagining political leadership styles. I found her
approach of inquiry and investment one that will easily translate into the business world
and serve to help women to move from their greater power. I invite you to tune into this
powerful conversation about holding power to account in a way that allows everyone to
win.
What are the 3 things you want to speak about?
Why it matters that we care about politicians, what made me care about politicians in
the first place, and what I would like to say to any struggling politician.

Bio
I have been so fortunate to work in politics, in parliaments, and with politicians around
the globe for 14 years. I have entered some incredible democratic spaces at pivotal
moments in history, and I have observed the human impact of the political experience
amongst individuals charged with navigating it for all our sake. I started out being
interested in how democratic practices within the national parliament of South Africa
would be re-shaped at the end of apartheid, which was the focus of my PhD. The
majority of those entering the new parliament in 1994 had no experience of democracy
from the inside, and I was fascinated to realise that a person's experience of
democracy, which in this instance was one of exclusion, shapes their actions
irrespective of their current reality and experiences. Since then I have worked
internationally with politicians around the globe and I have come to realisation that all
politicians know their feelings do not matter, and should not matter, to the content of
their policy decisions. Yet, they still have them, and those feelings still play a role in
shaping the form democracy takes, and this form shapes political leadership culture.
Consequently, we may contemplate creating AI politicians to override this, but until this
happens I intend to spend the rest of my life helping us all to understand the reality of
how it feels to deliver democracy, with the ultimate aim of improving the quality of
democratic processes and innovating democratic institutions.

Program Notes

Being a woman of European decent, I always look forward to and value the opportunity to speak with women who are leaders in DE&I for the chance to discover more of my own unconscious bias that was trained from birth. The privilege of having Dr. Sacha Joseph-Mathews as a guest was a powerful experience in this direction. Her wisdom about how common it is to overlook the oppressions of those around us served to heighted my own awareness of oppressive nuances I might have previously overlooked. Combining this with her clear reminder to be mindful of the oppressions that are not external, but rather radiate from within is a call to each of us to listen internally with as much attention as we pay to the outer environment. I am still contemplating her invitation to learn what being our authentic self is, and to notice how some relationships are not healthy for maintaining authenticity. I invite you to tune in to discover how the powerful illuminations of this powerful and generous woman can enhance your own life and perceptions.

Program Notes

A fierce warrior for women’s rights, bodily autonomy, and naming women in the U.S. Constitution, the conversation with Karen Hinton is stimulating and informative. Best known for her role as press secretary to both former Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Karen has always been determined to “speak up not shut up” on issues that impact women. From discussing the Dobbs case that saw the Supreme Court overturning Roe v Wade, to her experiences with the issue of abortion, both directly personal and within her community, Karen shared her commitment to be instrumental in change and how we can all become change agents in our own communities and the country at large. 

Biography

Mississippi native Karen Hinton is a nationally-recognized media professional in
Washington and New York. Best known for her role as press secretary to both former
Housing Secretary Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de
Blasio, Hinton played what Politico dubbed the “Helen of Troy role” in the clash between
Cuomo, now the former Governor of New York, and Mayor de Blasio. The New York
Times called the clash “one of America’s ugliest political feuds.”
Hinton cut her teeth as the press secretary for the first Black Congressman from
Mississippi since Reconstruction in 1986. The Democratic National Committee hired her
in 1989, serving a similar role for Ron Brown, who was the first Black Chairman of the
DNC and a key political strategist to elect Bill Clinton as President. In
1995, Hinton joined the Clinton Administration as press secretary for Cuomo at the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development. During that time, President Clinton
began to face charges of womanizing (and worse). Hinton later relocated to New York
and became Mayor de Blasio’s press secretary. She found herself at the center of the
crossfire between longtime frenemies Cuomo and de Blasio, often becoming the subject
of news coverage herself.

Known for never ducking from a fight, Hinton was at the peak of her career when a
catastrophic brain injury from a freak accident confronted her with the battle of her life.
Emerging from a coma, and learning to walk and talk again, Hinton was determined to
“speak up not shut up” on issues involving women, men, and power in politics.

Words that I quickly learned she not only speaks but lives by. Being a longtime student of ancient wisdom, having the opportunity to share in conversation with Anita was a genuine gift.

With her gentle strength and clarity, Anita spoke to some of the most important aspects of life, that in our busy world and lives we often take for granted or forget, altogether. The way she speaks directly and with the intention to the listener, bringing them into the conversation is an opportunity to breathe into yourself in a whole new way of remembering more of yourself. I want to invite you to tune in to Anita’s illumination of how we can each re-emerge into belonging and remember who we are at the most authentic level.

Program Notes

Part II of a powerful conversation. Each time I speak with Wendy Murphy I come away feeling educated, inspired, and informed about the continuing struggle for us, as women, to achieve full human status in the U.S. Constitution. Sharing in conversation with a litigator for the rights of women and children, who is also a scholar in the history of the abuses and small victories of women always clarifies what is still yet to be done. In this conversation, our listeners will learn some of what we can each do on a consistent basis to uplift ourselves, and all of womankind. While only vaguely familiar with Alice Paul prior to meeting Wendy, I have come to love and honor this woman who actually wrote the original Equal Rights Amendment. I continue to find that learning a woman’s history offers clear signals and directional indicators of how we can progress to become an empowered body. I trust that each of you will receive incredible nuggets of wisdom from this conversation.

“I was always sensitive to injustice…but in terms of how I landed doing civil rights and constitutional rights, especially as it pertains to women, I came into it organically.”

An alternative in case that requires too much space.

“I was always sensitive to injustice…but in terms of how I landed doing civil rights and constitutional rights…I came into it organically.”   Wendy Murphy

Having the opportunity to welcome Wendy Murphy as a guest provided one of the most fascinating and educational conversations on the plight of women that I’ve ever experienced. From outlining how the law is written to support violence against women to the extent to which there is no one monitoring our judges when they rule in discriminatory ways against women was eye-opening, in the least. Listening to Wendy explain how it is our US Constitution that stands as the underlying cause that allows judges in every courtroom, not just criminal cases, to treat women in a discriminatory way, further ignited my inner passion to fight for women’s rights, in my own smaller way. I invite you to join us for this Part 1 of a two-part conversation on what women need to know in order to stand up for themselves on how the minimization of our entire gender is not just alive and well, but legally sanctioned.

Beverly is one of the three women I’ve recently been honored to meet, who are on a mission to help 100,000 women to live powerful and fabulous lives. The candor and clarity she expresses in sharing her amazing story of the journey from playing small to rising to her fullest self and now helping other women do the same was nothing short of inspiring. I am always moved by women who are focusing their skills and talents on supporting other women of any race, or ethnicity. geography, age, or profession to be able to experience the freedom that self-empowerment brings. With actionable tips, Beverly was a wonderful guest who shares great impact forward to all of our listeners.

Program Notes

Having the opportunity to hear about Mitzi’s amazing and courageous trek to Ukraine inspired and fascinated me on multiple levels. I got quite a chuckle out of the fact that although approved by the US government to travel as a war correspondent at age 70, NATO deemed her too old. Never one to be stopped, at 81 Mitzi accepted an invitation from General Nebytov of Kyiv Regional Police. Like everyone else, I’ve seen the reports, written and filmed, of the trials of Ukraine’s people, and yet hearing the perspective of a female, American war correspondent filled in so many blanks and has left me with a profoundly increased respect for the courage and tenacity of both Mitzi and the people of Ukraine.

Mitzi Perdue BIO

Mitzi is an anti-human trafficking advocate, a former rice farmer, and the past president of the 40,000-member American Agri-Women. In the 1990s and early 2000s her nationally syndicated column, "The Environment and You," was the most widely syndicated environmental column in the US. Recently she’s written Relentless, a biography of Mark Victor Hansen, the Chicken Soup for the Soul guy. Royalties for Relentless will go to helping combat human trafficking.
