About This Podcast

Stories are the foundation of progress, and for too long, the voices of women and marginalized communities have been ignored or silenced. At WAIT. HOLD UP… WHAT? we’re reclaiming space to share the struggles, triumphs, fears, and joys that shape our lives. Join us as we explore the intersections of identity, equity, and empowerment, offering education, support, and inspiration along the way. Whether it’s breaking barriers, celebrating wins, or tackling the tough stuff, this is a space for everyone to feel seen, heard, and uplifted. We invite you all to join the conversation and help us explore ways to ELIMINATE GIRL HATE.
