Red Rover, Will Anyone come over? A sexual assault survivor's point of view.  CONTENT WARNING One in 5 women experience sexual assault. Every 68 seconds an American is being raped. Approximately 70% of rape or sexual assault victims experience moderate to severe distress, a larger percentage than for any other violent crime.  How do we recover from this trauma? Trauma that bleeds into all aspects of our lives. Our song, Red Rover reveals a woman's painful life long journey of coming terms with the shame, guilt and body disassociation she feels as a result of being raped. “Six months for you? A Life sentence for me.” In honor of sexual assault awareness month, we interview co-founder Of Paige Denim, Paige Geller Adam's, about how she has processed the trauma of being raped and began her healing journey from surviving to thriving.  Make sure to watch this video on consent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQbei5JGiT8 Connect with us: Listen to Women of Tomorrow Insta : @laurabellbundy insta : @sheasheacarter Produced by Dori Berinstein and Alan Seales.

This episode is about money. Why we don't have enough of it, how we are enslaved by it, and how Power seems to be just out of reach due to it. Our latest release “Money Ho” (video here) is shining a giant light on the injustices women face around money. From equal pay to the pink tax, we are fed up with working the hardest and having the least. Our guest this week is Carol Jenkins CEO and president of the ERA Coalition. Until women are equal under the constitution, we don’t stand a chance at having equal pay. Sound the alarm, this is a wake-up call ladies, it’s time to demand equality and finally pass the ERA.

In this first episode, we dive into what influenced our first single "Get It Girl You Go" from our "Women Of Tomorrow" album. This song rejoices that the future is female and describes women doing it all, breaking the glass ceiling and getting a seat at the table. We also pay homage to the women who came before us and paved the way by taking you thru a brief historical breakdown of women’s rights in the last 100 plus years. Amy McGrath is an American politician, former Marine fighter pilot, and candidate for the United States Senate from Kentucky (Oct 2020). McGrath was the first woman to fly a combat mission for the Marine Corps, as well as the first to pilot the F/A-18 on a combat mission. During her 20 years of service in the Marine Corps, McGrath flew 89 combat missions against al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Toward the end of her service, McGrath worked domestically as a political adviser, a liaison officer, and an instructor at the United States Naval Academy.

Inspired by Laura Bell Bundy’s and Shea Carter's album of the same name, Women Of Tomorrow is a musical podcast that explores issues women are facing today, examines the history of those issues and provides solutions for moving forward. Out of the ashes of the 2016 presidential election, came the most powerful women’s movement since the 1970’s. Women’s voices raised in unity to express their fear over losing all they had fought for and their desire for equal rights. #Metoo. Each episode will feature a song that sets the stage for our topic such as: Breaking the glass ceiling, ‘doing it all,’ Equal pay, unrealistic beauty standards, obsession with social media, domestic violence, pitting ourselves against each other, domain over our own bodies, sexual assault, the new rules of masculinity, motherhood, pregnancy, the mental load and what it means to be ‘a good guy.’ We cannot set the stage for our future if we don’t understand our history. Just two women and one guest working to lower the high cost of equality one song at a time. We may not change your mind, but we will make you think. Produced by Dori Berinstein and Alan Seales.
