    The Matriarchy Ep 20: WWII Pacific War Crimes - The Untold Stories of Women

    In this powerful episode, forgotten stories of women and communities impacted by World War II in the Pacific are brought to light. From the tragedy of Chinese comfort women and systemic sexual slavery to the horrors of Unit 731 and the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the discussion explores hidden WWII Pacific war crimes that continue to shape the present. Through the work of Jenny Chan, Director of Pacific Atrocities Education, more than one million pages of declassified documents from the U.S. National Archives have been carefully reviewed and scanned, uncovering new evidence about overlooked war crimes in the Pacific Theater of World War II. This extensive research has resulted in several books focused on underrepresented histories, including violence against women, human experimentation, and civilian suffering during WWII. The episode examines why these untold narratives matter today, how historical memory influences modern conversations about justice and accountability, and what can be learned from survivors’ experiences. With experience hosting discussions featuring guests such as bestselling author James Bradley, this conversation highlights how thoughtful dialogue about World War II history can inspire education, awareness, and meaningful change. Listeners interested in WWII history, Pacific Theater war crimes, women’s history, human rights, and historical justice will gain deeper insight into stories that demand to be remembered.

    The Matriarchy Ep 18: USAID Explained - How Soft Diplomacy and Foreign Aid Shape Global Influence

    USAID is not charity—it saves lives and is essential to American safety and global security. In this episode, we feature an exclusive interview with a former USAID Foreign Service officer and explore how the U.S. Agency for International Development developed soft diplomacy to shape global affairs, promote stability, and counter rival powers. From humanitarian relief and disaster response to health programs, education, economic development, and democracy promotion, discover how USAID strengthened international relationships, protected Americans, and prevented crises before they reached U.S. borders. Hear firsthand stories revealing the human impact, challenges, and realities of global development work—from fighting infectious diseases like Ebola and Zika to improving food security and fostering economic partnerships. We also examine how the recent dismantling of USAID has not only compromised U.S. safety and security but been catastrophic for frontline workers, crippling assistance around the world. Learn how USAID once protected communities abroad, safeguarded Americans, supported U.S. businesses, countered misinformation, and built pro-American sentiment worldwide—and importantly, learn how you can help.

    The Matriarchy Ep 14 Short: Using Comedy As A Reframing Tool

    After 9/11, the world was fragile and bleak. Days went by where time stood still. We did not know how to react. And then the satire site The Onion did the unthinkable - made us laugh again. A small return to normal, or at least a "new normal". Our guest Lynn Harris recounts her experiences - and her interview with The Onion's writers.

    The Matriarchy Ep 15: Taking Charge & Making Change - Community Advocacy with Deanne Austin

    In this episode with community activist Deanne Austin, we explore how transportation, education, and housing are deeply interconnected—and why equitable access to each is essential for thriving communities. We focus on how unreliable or limited transportation creates barriers to voting, schooling, employment, and basic services, making mobility not just a convenience but a basic civil right. Our conversation highlights practical, community-driven actions that anyone can take, like how to speak up for better transit options, and getting involved in local planning meetings so decisions truly reflect residents’ needs. Listeners will leave not only understanding how transportation, education, and housing shape one another, but also feeling empowered to organize, vote, show up, and push for changes that make movement, learning, and living accessible for all. #TransitEquity #TransportationJustice #CivicEngagement #VoteDetroit #EquityInAction #CommunityPower #MobilityIsARight #Matriarchy #ModernMatriarch #MatriarchMindset #WomenWhoLead #MatriarchMovement #WomenUpliftingWomen #SheLeads #EmpoweredWomenEmpowerWomen #LeadLikeAWoman
