We've been talking to women who are changing the automotive world for a few years now. We thought it's time we share those conversations, so we started a podcast. We discover what inspires and empowers women to build a career in automotive, to create, to lead, to take on new challenges, to not be afraid. And what they hope others will learn from them. And, there are cars! We'll talk about new cars, technology, car sales and deals and more.

    Car Buying Tips with Roosevelt Gist and Avoid Being Overcharged at the Dealership

    Roosevelt Gist, automotive journalist and expert car-buying consultant, has taken his decades of car buying, car selling experience, essentially working in dealerships, and enjoys working with buyers, sending them to dealers to hone down the key information that people need to know when they're preparing for a car purchase.  Roosevelt has a new series called The Color of Our Money is Green. And this series is created for black car buyers who are disproportionately overcharged and they may be overcharged for the price of a car. They may be overcharged for the finance fees or interest rate.  Watch, listen, and check out Roosevelt's car buying tips, which can help anybody who's shopping for a car.  Check out more tips with Roosevelt on https://www.autonetwork.com.  Get our audio-only podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/show/1ga4jvlYMpzW2gsLf2XhDQ  Read more stories on: https://agirlsguidetocars.com/  Get more What Drives Her here: https://agirlsguidetocars.com/podcast  Join our newsletter: https://agirlsguidetocars.com/join-our-newsletter  And find more on our socials! facebook.com/agirlsguidetocars  instagram.com/agirlsguide2cars  twitter.com/agirlsguide2cars  tiktok.com/agirlsguide2cars  What Drives Her by A Girls Guide to Cars is wholly owned and produced by A Girls Guide to Cars, LLC.

    Liv Leigh On Test Driving Cars and Conquering Challenges for Disability Pride Month

    Liv Leigh might be the only car reviewer on the road who accommodates a prosthetic leg and some other minor disabilities, but that doesn't stop her or slow her down.  After a bomb blast changed her life as a teenager, she's been on a journey to live life to its fullest, including pursuing her passion of cars, especially electric cars. We had fun chatting all things cars with her and learning how she overcomes the challenges, and where she gets her incredible drive and optimism. We are so inspired by her; you will be too.

    Disability Pride Month: Why Tiffany Yu, Diversability, Founder Built Her Virtual-First Community

    Tiffany Yu, Diversability, Founder, did a summer internship at Goldman Sachs and immersed in different employee resource groups or affinity groups that they have for their employees, for Asian employees, women employees, disabled employees and our allies.
