Women Bridging the Gap

De : Alexandra D'Italia & Lenya Wilson
  • Résumé

  • Welcome to Women Bridging the Gap, a free-wheeling, conversation podcast co-hosted by Lenya Wilson, a Black woman and Alexandra D’Italia, a white woman. As two women over 50 who are still dreaming, planning, and working, we explore what womanhood means in today’s world, in today's American culture. And for us, that means identity and race usually enter into our conversation. We’re passionate, loud, funny, non-judgmental, and opinionated. We are feminists. We are elders. We believe in abundance. We believe in the power of storytelling. We’re not journalists, but we’re open about our experiences and eager to learn from others. We want to empower ourselves; and we want to share our experiences to empower you. We began this podcast in response to the murder of George Floyd, Amy Cooper’s weaponization of her white femininity, and the subsequent uprising. We believe that honesty, openness, and love can bridge the gap between people of color and white people. This podcast is a safe space. We bring people into the conversation, because your voices matter too. Just let us know. We want you to be in on our conversation—and help us move forward one conversation at a time.

    • Still Processing the Dobbs Decision
      Sep 7 2022

      Still Processing the Dobbs Decision

       

      Just a nice easy laid-back episode about abortion. We need to talk about vaginas more, and this is the perfect place to start.

       

      Alexandra and Lenya both share their own abortion stories, and discuss the anxieties of kids coming of age in a society that restricts abortion.

       

      Alexandra also reads an incredible poem by Jacaranda School for Orphan’s student Felicia Luciano called Our Members of Parliament. A poignant and direct statement in beautiful language.

    • American Ninja Warrior Kadeem Aaron 
      Apr 6 2022

      Join us to talk with Kadeem Aaron, a successful Ninja Warrior on both the Australian and American versions of the show! He also happens to be Lenya’s son.

       

      Kadeem goes over how he got started, what it takes to be a Ninja, some of the differences between the American and Australian shows, and his training practice. Lenya and Alexandra make analogies to their respective Formula One and teaching knowledge bases.

       

      We’re changing the frequency of releases to two per month, so look out for those, and reach out if you have a topic idea or would like to be a guest.
