Show notes

Uppity Women is hosted by Stephanie Harris, founder of Women Lead Arkansas, a non-partisan nonprofit whose mission is to empower women and girls to engage in politics, policy, and leadership. This podcast is meant to showcase women (and men!) doing cool things; be a place for hard conversations we need to have before we can make progress (race, politics, feminism, etc.); bring people together to figure sh!t out and get stuff done; and generally thumb our noses at anyone who would tell us what we may or may not do as women. www.womenleadarkansas.org darylshawn.bandcamp.com/music Links: KHARIS Grants & Services: consultkharis.com/ www.facebook.com/KHARISOVERACUP/ Called to Create, by Jordan Raynor: www.calledtocreate.org/ DISC Assessment: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DISC_assessment

What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things..” www.goodreads.com/quotes/8202-the-mass-of-men-lead-lives-of-quiet-desperation-what www.hendrix.edu www.heifer.org www.libertyinnorthkorea.org www.clintonfoundation.org www.arktimes.com Tales from the South: www.ualrpublicradio.org/programs/tales-south Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance: “Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood?

Suzi Parker-Author, Journalist, Writing Instructor Mar 12, 2019

Show notes

I heard about Suzi Parker in about 2004, when she published her book, "Sex in the South: Unbuckling the Bible Belt." I've always loved a rebel, and talking (out loud!) about sex in the South surely qualifies! A native of Pine Bluff, Suzi has done a lot of cool things, which you'll hear about in the episode.

Michelle Barnes-Real Images Feb 25, 2019

Show notes

Michelle Barnes is the founder of Real Images. From www.realimages.org:

Michelle's vision for Real Images formed in 2006 when she saw that young girls didn't have many positive or healthy images of women in the media. In 2007, she began conducting self-image workshops for teenagers and facilitating empowerment workshops for young women. She finally decided to make her passion wide spread when she founded Real Images in 2014. Michelle is a native of south Arkansas. She has a Bachelor of Sociology and a Master of Public Administration both from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
