Smart, compassionate and insightful
These incredible ladies speak on relative topics, for their prespective on current topics, give their time to make the listener aware of things they may have never considered all in hopes for effecting positive change in the world. This isn't a just another "let's rant", it is a place to talk frankly, openly and honestly about things that need to change, support and give a voice those that are working to make that change, and inspire you the listen to become the change all while laughing, crying and being there for each other. These are the voices we need more of, so listen and share with others.
