Girls Against the Gap

Emilia Kniestedt

Hi! Welcome to the Girls Against the Gap podcast. This podcast will be featuring conversations with young female change makers who are fighting against the gender gap in leadership roles through their passions. Our goal is to bridge the gender gap of women in leadership positions by encouraging Gen-Zers to start their own initiatives to change the world, to become active in major issues facing our generation, and step up as the leaders and changemakers we need in our future. We believe everyone has the power to change the world.
