Through Women’s Agenda she brings the news to us through a women’s lens, challenging mainstream media and the way we view current news stories.

- That gender equity progress hasn’t been sustained – she has even more to write about now.
- The change over time in the way women’s health has been covered, with a huge increase in recent years.
- We are at a critical time for women globally, as we face risks of climate change, unregulated AI, global conflict and increased inequality.
- There is gender fatigue in the conversation, but we’re not done yet!
- The backlash against gender equity and DEI especially in the US and in younger generations.
- How we include young men in the conversation so they are part of the solution.
- The way we engage with the news and how we each hold feminist spaces.
