Today, we are joined by Sadiqa Reynolds, a remarkable civil rights leader, attorney, and former judge who has dedicated her career to championing mental health and advocating for access for all.
As a pioneer in various leadership roles, she has consistently broken barriers, becoming the first woman to hold significant positions throughout her career. Our conversation explores her experiences of being first and how those moments have influenced her approach to leadership and advocacy.
Her tenure at the Louisville Urban League is a testament to her dedication, having expanded the organization's reach and impact through strategic leadership. Transforming a contaminated site into a $53 million sports and learning center, she demonstrates a commitment to community transformation.
Highlighting the work of the Perception Institute, Sadiqa emphasizes changing narratives around race and inclusion, aspiring to a world where everyone belongs. Through candid reflections on the solidarity among women leaders and drawing inspiration from figures like Maya Angelou, Sadiqa urges future generations to pursue work that fuels their passion and commitment to justice.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
