International Women's Day Podcast: Week 1

by Elle Farrell-Kingsley

Welcome to our female empowerment series where we begin our all-women takeover of Voice

We begin the Voice Team's International Women's Day special podcast series, as we dig deep into femininity, representation and stigmatised issues. This week, Voice Journalist De-Mornae and Business and Projects Assistant Ophelia talk about what IWD means to them and their experiences with media representation and body image on social media.

If you are looking for another podcast to listen to, the Contributors release the Voice Extra Podcast every Saturday, where they talk about the pieces they’ve produced and the culture they’ve been enjoying.
