24 - Don’t Be Afraid of It - Embrace It w/ ANURADHA DUGAL

We are so excited to welcome another very special guest to the @WYSWpodcast today, ANURADHA DUGAL! Anuradha is the Senior Director of Community Initiatives & Policy at the Canadian Women’s Foundation. She is committed to not-for-profit work for social justice and has been engaged in many roles in the sector - management, fundraising, events, convening, public education and direct program delivery. As well as being a fierce advocate for all who identify as women and girls, she is the mother to three boys who she is raising to be feminists. And she still finds time occasionally to enjoy gardening, knitting, and swimming! After our weekly check-in, we were thrilled to lead a conversation with Anuradha surrounding what it means to be a racialized woman, and how this identity has shifted for her throughout her life. We also chat with her about how she is raising her sons, and what it means for her to raise white men. This week we’re drinking Pascual Toso Chardonnay, Sandbanks Riesling-Gewürztraminer VQA, and Anuradha’s Smoothie w/ Bacardi. We gave these drinks a buzz rating of 3/5, 4.5/5, and 3.5/5 respectively.
