Lara chats with friends of the show Michaela Ayers and Jennifer McCord. We get real about how we’re navigating our awkward re-entry into the world as Covid restrictions lift. How we’re reconnecting with our people, our work, and ourselves after two plus years in pandemic isolation. And why astronauts might have advice for how to get back out there.
Michaela Ayers (she/her), a social justice facilitator turned entrepreneur, is revolutionizing the way individuals, organizations, and communities think about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Michaela is the founder of Nourish, a social impact organization that is advancing DEI education through experiential learning and human connection. She is also the creator and host of Black Her Stories, a podcast that reshapes Black history through the inspiring stories of women you may never have heard of. Through nourishing conversations with leading writers, artists and entertainers, Michaela investigates what possibilities exist when creativity meets history.
Jennifer McCord (she/her) is an audio producer and editor/co-producer of She Knows the Way. She’s also worked as a project manager, a human resources professional, an apparel product line manager, and an improviser – so she’s spent most of her adult life figuring out how to listen. Jennifer is particularly interested in telling stories that are rooted in a sense of place, that map the gap between our thinking and our actions, or that explore the inextricable relationship between equity and design.
