In honor of Women’s History Month we at Well+Good are running a series throughout the month of March reflecting on our evolving understanding of the gender binary and how the concepts of “feminism” and “womanhood” mean different things to different folks. From feminist writers, advocates, and public figures—we’re passing the mic and highlighting what womanhood means to some of our favorite voices in wellness; the good, the bad, and the complicated. On todays episode we’re featuring Sinikiwe Dhliwayo and Anusha Wijeyakumar in conversation about what feminism means to them as people who reside in bodies of color.
GUESTS:
Sinikiwe Dhliwayo, creative entrepreneur, educator, speaker and founder of Nayya
Anusha Wijeyakumar, MA, meditation expert and wellness consultant at Hoag Hospital
