The United States has long been the largest aid donor in the world, accounting for about 40 percent of humanitarian assistance globally last year, according to the United Nations. But that is quickly changing. Most U.S. foreign aid is currently on hold. Thousands of projects are at risk of elimination. And nearly all staff from the U.S. Agency for International Development are on administrative leave. How did we get to this moment? And what has been the impact of the foreign aid freeze so far, including on women and girls? In this episode from The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, hear a conversation taped at Foreign Policy magazine's Emerging Threats Forum, an official side event of the Munich Security Conference, about the economic and security implications of halting overseas development assistance.Foreign Policy editor in chief Ravi Agrawal spoke with Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, the president and CEO of the One Campaign, and Umulkher (Umi) Harun Mohamed, a member of Kenya's National Assembly. The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is a podcast from Foreign Policy, supported in part by the Gates Foundation and Northwestern University's Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs.

I adore music. It moves me like few other things in existence. There was a time when my family and I watched America's Got Talent, and it was the breakout singers that we most enjoyed. You may remember Mandy Harvey. Mandy was in college pursuing a vocal music education degree, then lost her hearing. She left the program to pursue other career options, but later returned to music. She ultimately landed on America's Got Talent where she reached the finals and was Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer Winner. From there, CNN showcased Mandy on their Great Big Story and captured over 10 million hits on social media, Burt's Bees signed her up for their “Remarkable Women” campaign, NBC Nightly News profiled her, and she went on to perform at the world's most prestigious clubs, concert stages and festivals. Mandy then wrote a book titled, Sensing The Rhythm, Finding My Voice In a World Without Sound. The book landed on my desk and in it I found a message of helping others to realize their dreams and pursue their hopes, no matter what. I invited Mandy onto my show and following I bring back an incredibly inspiring conversation about pursuing your dreams, in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, like being a singer…who goes deaf.

In November 1839, a group of young women in Boston formed a conversation society "to answer the great questions" of special importance to women: "What are we born to do? How shall we do it?" The lives and works of the five women who discussed these questions are at the center of Bright Circle, a group biography of remarkable thinkers and artists who played pathbreaking roles in the transcendentalist movement. Transcendentalism remains the most important literary and philosophical movement to have originated in the United States. Most accounts of it, however, trace its emergence to a group of young intellectuals (primarily Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau) dissatisfied with their religious, literary, and social culture. Yet there is a forgotten history of transcendentalism--a submerged counternarrative--that features a network of fiercely intelligent women who were central to the development of the movement even as they found themselves silenced by their culturally-assigned roles as women. Bright Circle: Five Remarkable Women in the Age of Transcendentalism (Oxford UP, 2024) is intended to reorient our understanding of transcendentalism: to help us see the movement as a far more collaborative and interactive project between women and men than is commonly understood. It recounts the lives of Mary Moody Emerson, Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, Sophia Peabody Hawthorne, Lydia Jackson Emerson, and Margaret Fuller as they developed crucial ideas about the self, nature, and feeling even as they pushed their male counterparts to consider the rights of enslaved people of color and women. Many ideas once considered original to Emerson and Thoreau are shown to have originated with women who had little opportunity of publicly expressing them. Together, the five women of Bright Circle helped form the foundations of American feminism. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Women in Leadership!

Her chapter, A Breath of Life: Memoir of Resilience and Transformation, is a heartfelt account of healing, reinvention, and finding purpose. Baishakhi, a seasoned corporate executive and mentor, shares the challenges of rediscovering herself beyond the boardroom. In Love, Loss, and New Beginnings, she reveals a deeply personal journey of overcoming heartbreak, navigating life's transitions, and embracing the strength of community. These stories are raw, courageous, and filled with lessons in resilience. Stay tuned as we revisit their inspiring journeys and hear how they turned challenges into powerful transformations. Here are the key takeaways: Resilience and Adaptability: Both Terri and Baishakhi emphasize the essence of bouncing back and adapting to life's unforeseen challenges.

Perched between the ocean and the sound in Nags Head, completely dominating the narrow sliver of land that makes up part of North Carolina's Outer Banks, is a monumental sand dune, a mountain of lush golden sand. This dune system, known as Jockey's Ridge, is somewhere around 4,000 years old and can reach heights of over 100 feet. It's majestic, it's miraculous, the tallest living sand dune on the east coast, a unique ecosystem home to a myriad of coastal creatures, a landmark and navigation tool dating back hundreds if not thousands of years, a playground for generations of children, and the most visited state park in North Carolina. But, did you know that back in the 1970s, Jockey's Ridge was slated for demolition to make way for a condominium complex? And did you know that three young children and their fearless mother put their foot down, quite literally, to save it? And that I have one of those children here with me today?

Today I am sharing why knowing history will give you fortitude and encouragement in the current political and cultural climate plus a truth concerning birds to give you peace and hope.History Is a wise companion and counselor.Knowing history allows us to have a better frame of reference for how the Lord has worked his character, his fulfillment of promises, and allows us to draw strength instead fastness from those who have walked before us during difficult and hard times.History reminds us we are not alone in our trials.**Note about end times and eschatology - If you read the last 10 or 20 years of current history, you will not have a proper view of eschatology in light of Scripture and all the the Lord has done and is doing. History is a wise companion and helps us learn from the past and build for the future. When we learn from history, we mature as people there's a famous quote by Cicero that says "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child."History Book Ideas:Richard Hannula books: Radiant: 50 Remarkable Women in Church History - https://a.co/d/bwa01wzHeralds of the Reformation: https://a.co/d/4G54bAzFor Christ's Crown: https://a.co/d/dgrHqzvTrials and Triumph: https://a.co/d/hgKVFrYHistory from Creation to Modern Day Story of the World Volumes 1-4 (not distinctly Christian, but good chronological, read aloud or curriculum): https://a.co/d/dVdg4j9Mystery of History (more Christian - I have not used this, but it has been recommended): https://a.co/d/0x6TfktAmerican History:Did America Have a Christian Foundation?

The role of women in French society has undergone significant changes over time. Historically, women's roles were largely confined to domestic duties and child-rearing, with limited access to education and professional opportunities.The French Revolution ignited a conversation about women's rights, leading to gradual changes. Over the 19th and 20th centuries, women gained the right to vote, access to higher education, and entry into the workforce.So, I'm looking at the lives of three extraordinary women in French history and telling their stories. Their tales are fascinating and full of endurance and survival against the odds.They are role models in a way we don't have in today's society. Are their names instantly recognisable?

Education is one of the most important enablers of girl power all over the world. And in a lot of ways, girls' education has improved. The percentage of girls in school is on the rise globally compared to two decades ago. But there are still significant gaps, particularly in areas with high levels of conflict.  On today's episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, host Reena Ninan speaks with Julie Mwabe, the team lead at the global advocacy and public policy program at Global Partnership for Education. She leads efforts to mobilize political support at the highest levels for education, including from heads of state. They talk about the state of girls' education and what the international community can do to close learning gaps, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women is supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Roberta Buffett Institute for Global Affairs at Northwestern University.

Homosexuality is illegal in Kenya, as it is in more than half of African countries. But public attitudes have begun to shift.

On today's episode of the Hidden Economics of Remarkable Women, we follow the key people driving this change. Reporter Eunice Maina interviews women and nonbinary LGBTQ activists such as Marylize Biubwa, the co-founder of Queer Republic, and Ivy Werimba, a communications officer at Galck+, a coalition of 16 membership-based LGBTQ+ organizations from across Kenya. Then host Reena Ninan speaks with Eric Gitari, the co-founder of the National Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission in Kenya. His litigation has helped bring recent LGBTQ policy victories.
