Episode 43: The Power of Women's Stories...

Valerie Jones
About this episode

Our stories are powerful. They inspire, uplift, give hope and remind us we're not alone. 

This episode is all about the power and change that happens when women gather and tell our stories, and how important it is to give the spotlight to marginalized women so they can be seen, heard, celebrated and supported. 

Join this riveting discussion with Amy & Nancy Harrington:

We talk about how two introvert sisters talk to people for a living! 

I ask them about their most inspiring interviews

They share the magic that happened when they kept saying 'yes' even when they didn't know 'how'

What happens when we surround ourselves with inspiring, powerful women! 

Amy & Nancy Harrington founded The Passionistas Project to shine a light on women who are following their passions to inspire other women to do the same. 

Before starting The Passionistas Project, Amy was VP of Visual Effects & Post Production for all feature films at Warner Bros. Nancy produced Academy Awards campaigns for Miramax. Together they founded The Pop Culture Passionistas and worked with The Television Academy Foundation, The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and were hand picked to be part of an intimate digital press corps with Oprah's Lifeclass. They have conducted and/or produced over 1,400 interviews including over 60 one-on-one in depth oral histories and hundreds of red carpet interviews at the Emmys including Mick Jagger, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Deepak Chopra, Carol Burnett and more.
