Where can you listen?

In a world on fire, Working Girl brings you the stories of women who refuse to look away — and choose to do the work.

Hosted by activist Rachel Mpala, this podcast spotlights women working in the trenches of social justice and nonprofit sectors: from fighting gun violence and homelessness to defending abortion access, dismantling racism, and navigating America’s broken systems.

Each week, we go beyond headlines and job titles to ask:

What does it really take to stay in the fight for justice — without burning out?How do these women protect their joy while doing some of the hardest work in America?And how can you support them?

Expect raw conversations, practical insights, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be a woman working at the intersection of purpose, pain, and power.

This isn’t corporate career advice anymore.
It’s a reckoning — and a rally cry.

Topics include: women in nonprofits, activism, burnout, social justice, gender equity, homelessness, gun violence, reproductive rights, healthcare, racism, prison reform, immigration, human rights, education, xenophobia, trans rights, veterans, feminism, progressive leadership
