Sit Down with Antigone Rising

Pull up a chair for an insightful conversation with Antigone Rising (antigonerising.com). You will hear pauses as Nini, Cathy and Kristen determine who will respond to questions and their spot-on answers leave us so much better informed. They describe how their roles as US Cultural Ambassadors (with hints of Beatlemania) led to their own nonprofit, Girls Rising. (Girls Rising (Official Trailer) Antigone Rising Nonprofit Gender Equality (youtube.com)) We learn how Girls Rising is very present and intertwined with the direction of the band today. We receive an education about the harsh realities for female bands and the differences in promotion between them and male counterparts. Finally, I asked the members one question – perhaps, related to activism - and was gifted with three amazing life lessons. By the end of our conversation, you will be amazed by the impact Nini, Cathy and Kristen are making for girls, LGBTQ youth and all of us. Please consider making a small donation to Girls Rising (girlsrising.org).
