Let’s Hear It For The Girls

Hello our wonderful, empowered batch of queens. Happy International Women’s Day! We’re celebrating by offering you a whole extra bonus episode, covering some massive feminist topics of the moment. Like: When will we see a female US president? And how do we tackle the oh-so-sexist ‘likeability’ issue? Plus, a new feminist flick 'Misbehaviour' looks at intersectional feminism through the realm of beauty pageants - a true story from the ‘70s that raised questions we’re still struggling to answer today. Izzy interviewed the director and star Gugu Mbatha-Raw and talks about the powerful acts of ‘quiet feminism’ both women perform in their careers. Then it’s all about Halima Aden - the megaforce supermodel and activist who has become an advocate for Muslim representation in fashion. Halima is in London to support the Pandora Charms for Change launch - an event we attended alongside her last night for International Women’s Day. Plus, we got to speak to model, dancer and actor Larsen Thompson and artist Tasya van Ree about how they’re pushing feminism in their lives. In short, plenty to be stoked about! Happy listening.

Pandora are our sponsors this episode - and we love their new campaign because it raises much-needed funds for UNICEF, who are working to promote women’s education worldwide.
