    Adriana McLamb: The Fight to End the NCAA’s Discrimination

    Adriana McLamb: The Fight to End the NCAA’s Discrimination

    On this week’s episode, Adriana McLamb joins She Thinks to discuss why, at the NCAA Board of Governors meeting this week, the Board should establish new policy to keep women’s sports female. We also consider why it’s impossible to provide equal opportunities for both men and women without single-sex teams; how women have been discriminated against, especially in medals, titles, and scholarships; and what you can do to join the fight in keeping women’s sports female. 
    Adriana McLamb is the marketing director at Independent Women’s Forum, where she oversees all of IWF’s social media and digital campaign strategies and execution. Prior to joining IWF, McLamb spent almost five years working for the Stand Together Community, where she led and contributed to digital marketing strategies for their grassroots brands both at the national and state level. Adriana is also a spokeswoman for Independent Women’s Forum, former Division 1 volleyball player, and now coach and recruiter to aspiring collegiate female volleyball players.

    Kristin Shapiro: Au Pairs for Senior Care

    Kristin Shapiro: Au Pairs for Senior Care

    Kristin Shapiro joins She Thinks podcast to discuss this month’s policy focus: Au Pairs for Senior Care. We delve into the very real need that the current senior population and future generations have in finding cost-effective, in-home care as they age. In our discussion, we look at the current Au Pair program, which is currently limited to child care, and explain how the State Department can expand it so that seniors can stay in their homes and receive support services all while reducing the high costs associated. 
    Kristin Shapiro is a senior fellow with Independent Women’s Forum. She has clerked for Chief Judge Alex Kozinski on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Following her clerkship, Shapiro practiced law as an associate at Williams & Connolly LLP, a D.C. law firm, for six years, where she litigated numerous cases in the United States Supreme Court and the federal courts of appeal and district courts. She then served as Assistant General Counsel in the Office of General Counsel of the U.S. House of Representatives for three years; worked at the Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice; and currently practices appellate and constitutional law in Washington, DC.

    Anna Giaritelli joins the She Thinks podcast to discuss the state of the border, including the latest numbers of illegal crossings and the political fight on how to address it.

She talks about the impact on victims and her process of moving forward.
    Anna Giaritelli joined the Washington Examiner in 2015 and focuses on homeland security, immigration, and border issues. She has traveled to the border on more than 40 occasions since 2018 and has covered human smuggling, the evolution of the war on drugs, domestic terrorism, and migration trends. She is currently based in Austin, Texas.

    Eric Kaufmann: Does the Rise of Wokeness Explain the Mental Health Crisis?

    Eric Kaufmann: Does the Rise of Wokeness Explain the Mental Health Crisis?

    Eric Kaufmann joins She Thinks podcast this week to talk about the rise in mental health problems, the rise in wokeness, and if there’s a connection. He answers the question, "Do progressive ideas make people unhappy, or are unhappy people drawn to the cultural Left?” We review the data behind the mental health crisis, the research that looks into why it’s occurring, and how wokeness is either a cause or an effect. 
    Eric Kaufmann is Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham, where he directs the Centre for Heterodox Social Science. He has written many books and papers on national identity, the cultural Left, and political demography, and his latest book is entitled "The Third Awokening: A 12-Point Plan for Rolling Back Progressive Extremism."
