Lead Like A Feminist
Break the Silence
In Episode 7 of the Lead Like A Feminist podcast we hear from Soraya Giaccardi about how she is using data and research to diversify media narratives and change the status quo. We talk about the harms of silence and the role of feminist leaders and institutions in speaking out, even when we're afraid.
Soraya is a Senior Researcher at the Media Impact Project (MIP), the research and evaluation arm of The Norman Lear Center at the USC Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism. Previously, Soraya served as Associate Director of Research at the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media.
In this episode we mention an extract from Audre Loudre's essay 'Transformation of Silence' and discuss the 'Taking the Lead' report by Plan International and the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media, which spoke to 10,000 girls across 19 countries about their perceptions of leadership.
