We sat down with founder and host Paola Diana to find out more about the importance of sexual equality, comradeship, and role models.
1.) Hey there, how are you?
Hi, all good!
2.) We have just entered 2022, how is the year going for you so far?
Very well and very busy. Finally, we are going to be free after this horrible pandemic.
3.) What does the release of your latest podcast mean to you?
It is always a joy to release my interviews to fascinating people. I love talking to them, learning and being inspired.
4.) What do you hope for you podcast? How will it speak to people?
I hope people will better understand what gender ideology is. It is a truly complex issue that is affecting more and more people, as we speak. I hope the public will be inspired to speak up and to not accept passively the general new wave of ‘politically correctness’.
5.) Your podcast speaks a lot about the importance of role models? Could you explain this a little more?
We all need role models to picture ourselves and to dream and aim to a better version of ourselves. Women didn’t have role models in the past as we were constantly cancelled, but things have now changed and we can see powerful and successful women paving the way for ourselves.
6.) Who are your role models and what inspires you?
I am inspired by self-made people who overcame struggles and adversities and never gave up. My role models are strong women who have a purpose in life and want to create a better world. To name a few: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Maya Angelou, Malala Yousifazi, and J.K. Rowling
7.) Who has been your favourite guest so far?
I can’t really tell, I love each of them, in different ways. Julie Bindel is definitely a hero of mine, for the work she has done on the ground to save women from domestic violence and pornography exploitation. I walk on the shoulders of giants.
8.) If you could interview anyone (dead or alive) who would it be?
Aristotle. And I would ask him why he hated women so much to relegate them to centuries of inferiority and submission.
9.) What’s next for you in 2022?
Finishing writing my second book.
10.) What do you hope for the future of your podcast and brand?
To keep inspiring and influencing more and more people, and to keep fighting for women’s rights, in the UK and worldwide.
