Episode Summary
In honor of Women’s History Month, we sit down with the brilliant Dr. Titilayo Ogunbambi to explore the intersections of identity, equity, and the “hero’s journey” of womanhood. From her extensive work with survivors of human trafficking to her personal path earning a PhD while navigating motherhood and migration, Dr. Titi breaks down how women can shed “inherited baggage” and reclaim their agency.
