  • Dr. Antoinette Ward has been practicing nursing at one of the largest hospitals in Atlanta for more than 25 years. She spoke with Rose the first week of the shutdown in March of 2020. She firsthand saw the number of cases grow and came up with new protocols when there was no template.
    And suddenly, Antoinette went from seeing thousands of patients of week, testing thousands of patients for COVID, to becoming a patient herself. 
    So many people can relate to this past year being a year that physically, spiritually, emotionally, takes the rug out from underneath you. This episode is dedicated to taking a time out, and reflecting on the journey of this past year with Dr. Antoinette Ward. A year in retrospect, Antoinette looks forward and reimagines a new future.
    If you haven’t heard her incredible story, you can go back to our episode, COVID19: On the Frontlines that aired on March 17 2020.

  • Park Cannon was the youngest representative elected to Georgia’s state legislature in 2016 at the age of 24. Park is also the first openly queer state representative in the United States, and serves as the Secretary of the Georgia House Democrats - and she continues to practice medicine and is a doula and healthcare worker in Atlanta.
    You may remember a previous episode of The Women we interviewed Park during the Georgia Senate Runoffs back in January, when she talked about her experience growing up in rural Georgia, seeing firsthand the threats and violence of the KKK in her community, and she also spoke about the issues most important to her, among them getting out the vote - 
    And you may know Park from a video that went viral just a few weeks ago, taken the day that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed the voter suppression bill, State Bill 202, as he was signing behind closed doors, Park was serving her constituents of the 58th district - which includes the Old Fourth Ward where Martin Luther King Jr was born - and - she began to knock on his door. 
    Park was unlawfully arrested at the State Capitol building by the very officers who are supposed to be protecting her while in session at the legislature.
    When Park was released from jail, she had to seek medical attention and since then she can be seen wearing a sling on her left arm. Immea
    Immediately following her release from jail, Park resume her duties representing the 58th District.

  • All eyes are on Georgia. Again. Senate Bill 202, a 98-page document outlines new provisions restricting voting registration, voting by mail, and early voting. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed a rushed bill in private chambers. Representative Park Cannon was arrested (!) for knocking (!) on his door during session. Delta, Coca-Cola, and Major League Baseball publicly criticized the measures, and Senate Republican Leadership Mitch McConnell and Governor Brian Kemp have threatened "serious consequences" to such companies that speak out against voting restrictions.
    To help make sense of what this means for real voters, voting rights activist Helen Butler joins The Women from the Coalition of the People's Agenda. Lauded by Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight as one of the fundamental grassroots 'hall of fame' organizers, Helen helps break down how the bill will impact voters in rural and urban areas.
    Tune back in two weeks for a conversation with Park Cannon about how she's fighting back after her arrest at the Georgia Capitol.
    ...and here's a primer on some of the provisions laid out by the Senate Bill 202 for you phone scrollers, linking to the New York Times:

    Voters will now have less time to request absentee ballots.

    There are strict new ID requirements for absentee ballots.

    It’s now illegal for election officials to mail out absentee ballot applications to all voters.

    Drop boxes still exist … but barely.

    Mobile voting centers (think an R.V. where you can vote) are essentially banned.

    Early voting is expanded in a lot of small counties, but probably not in more populous ones.

    Offering food or water to voters waiting in line now risks misdemeanor charges.

    The Republican-controlled legislature has more control over the State Election Board.

    The secretary of state is removed as a voting member of the State Election Board.

    The G.O.P.-led legislature is empowered to suspend county election officials.

  • Jessica Nabongo is a writer and photographer, and the first Black woman to visit all 195 countries. Less than 300 people have done that - and less than 30 women have visited all 195 countries. More than 200,000 people have followed Jessica’s journey.
    She has documented almost every aspect of her quest - the highs and the lows - from crystal blue waters in Indonesia, warm and welcoming strangers in Sudan, and the foothills of the Himalayas - and she’s captured the other side - difficult border crossings, sad moments at airports, and other travel fails. As a daughter of Detroit, Jessica has set out to demystify the world we live in and the people in it (and tells the truth about periods along the way...).
    Her journey also reveals bigger questions - how do we set goals for ourselves, and how do we go after what we what? And what parts of ourselves do we take with us, and leave behind, when we embark on such quests?
    After a year of quarantine life, it seems appropriate for THE WOMEN to TRAVEL. And there is no one better to do that with than Jessica. IG: @thecatchmeifyoucan
    Every episode host Rose Reid follows one woman’s journey to do the extraordinary, and Jessica has done just that.

    Stephanie is the daughter of an art historian, and her wife is also an art historian - she is at home in the museum and with art. In this episode Rose talks to Stephanie about reckoning and reconciliation - what should happen to confederate statues? How do we welcome in the new artists and exhibits during a global pandemic? What does the art we choose to showcase say about our values and ourselves? How do you handle death threats after you choose to showcase art about today's most pressing issues?
    The Woman is a production of Rose Reid. We will be publishing every two weeks on Thursday. On our next episode, February 25th, Rose speaks to Jessica Nabongo - the first black woman to travel to every country in the world!

  • The Women is a long-form interview show profiling brazen and badass trailblazers. For the past two months host Rose Reid has been covering the women integral on the ground to the Georgia Senate runoff elections.
    Following a very stressful, hectic, and violent election cycle, it's time for a breath of fresh air -- with yoga instructor Sara Clark.
    Sara leads yoga, meditation, and is certified in reiki. She left the corporate world to answer the call to teach and practice yoga. Just before the lockdown, Sara paused her life in New York (teaching 14+ classes a week) to go to the Caribbean island of Grenada. And when Americans were called back to the States, she stayed. And stayed. Sara talks to Rose about navigating the pandemic, grief, BLM, and high power negotiations. How does one transition during an epic time of transition? What teaches the teacher? Sara talks about the power of rest and the best thing about traveling the world solo.
    Featuring a sprinkling of Rose's meditation songs.
    On our next episode, we dig into the history of art and artifacts with the Director of the Smithsonian, Stephanie Stebich!

  • Stacey Abrams is on everyone's mind right now. In this "Part 2" episode recapping last week’s historical events, we're revisiting our conversation with Stacey Abrams.
    Within 24 hours that Georgians sent its first African American Senator and its first Jewish senator to Washington DC - the Capitol was stormed. And just within days of the historic turnout (4.4M+ Georgians voting in a runoff), Republican state legislators are already at work to curtail future mail-in voting.
    After Stacey lost the 2018 Georgia Governor's race to Brian Kemp, she created Fair Fight Action, focused on voter protection. There is a lot of speculation on whether Stacey will run again in 2022, but Stacey's priority is still to make sure everyone can vote, and everyone's vote is counted.
    Rose and Stacey spoke last spring, and had a candid and intimate conversation about hard lessons learned from the Governor's race, the curious life of introverts during quarantine, and what the future holds for this entrepreneur-turned-politician-moonlighting-romance novelist. Before Stacey became a tax attorney, a grassroots organizer, and an entrepreneur, she attended the HBCU Spelman College in Atlanta and received her law degree from Yale University.
    Catch voter crusader - Helen Butler - from the Coalition for the People's Agenda's, lean in towards joy at the end of this episode :)

  • Welcome to The Women with Rose Reid. Today is Election Day in Georgia!! We continue with our blitz mini-season profiling the amazing women on the ground in Georgia whose work will determine two Senate seats, and party control. 
    We get two very different perspectives on this blue wave that we see taking Georgia: Barbara Krinsky is a 90 year old self professed "Reagan Republican" making the flip (in part because of candidate Reverend Raphael Warnock's convincing and sincere TV ads). And Park Cannon is the youngest person elected to the Georgia State Legislature from District 58 (representing the historic Old Fourth Ward where Martin Luther King Jr. was born and later preached).
    The nation is watching with anticipation as they follow Stacey Abrams' and Fair Fight's footsteps, championing voting rights and registration. And now the world is witnessing the changing landscape of the deep south.

  • Welcome to the Women with Rose Reid. We continue with our blitz mini-season profiling the amazing women on the ground in Georgia whose work will determine the upcoming election for two Senate seats, and party control. We are just days away from the election on January 5th, and more than 2.5 Million votes have been cast - breaking state records for voter turnout in a runoff election. 
    In this episode: environmentalist, transit activist, and former Atlanta City Council President - Cathy Woolard.
    Cathy was the first woman to be President of the Atlanta City Council, (and the first openly gay elected official in Georgia) and during her tenure, she championed the Atlanta Beltline, a rails to trails program, which has since garnered over $1 Billion in private development for the surrounding area. She also created Atlanta’s first-ever energy policy and passed a local ordinance banning discrimination based on sexual-orientation, the first of its kind in Georgia.
    Cathy is also a regular on the weekly bipartisan conversations on FOX 5, The Georgia Gang hosted by Lori Geary, alongside Janelle King, who was previously on the show.
    We get Cathy's perspective on how this election can impact infrastructure and LGBTQ+ rights in Georgia. And Cathy gives some advice - on those pursuing social justice, and coming out.
    Thanks to listener Kaitlin Barrer in Denver for reading the credits!

  • The name Helen Butler has grassroots hall-of-fame status in Georgia. Helen has worked closely with Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight, but has been doing voter outreach for decades. This year their work has been more important--and in some ways, more difficult--than it ever has been before. And yet, Helen's team has registered tens of thousands of voters across Georgia - from the coast to the Piedmont.
    Helen directs the Coalition of the People's Agenda that helps get out the vote in African American communities. She grew up in Madison, Georgia and was one of the first few students to integrate the University of Georgia, and was a VP of human resource for many years.
    This election, Helen maintains her focus holding representatives accountable on issues like race, voting rights, and COVID relief. Whether she’s asking Loeffler, Purdue, Warnock, or Ossoff, the main question is, “What will your policies do for our communities?” 
    "Georgia On My Mind" reimagined by - Las Cafeteras, QVLN, & Sergio Mendoza - the song is a collaboration with the New Georgia Project - created to support Georgia and get out the vote. For voting questions visit Georgia.gov
    On our next episode we discuss the changing landscape of Georgia with environmentalist and transit advocate, Cathy Woolard who was the first woman, and openly gay person, to be President of the Atlanta City Council.

  • Longtime Georgia State Senator Nan Orrock is noticing a seismic shift among her Republican colleagues. There are always fissures in power, she says, but none she has seen this deep. "This is not typical," Nan says - everything about this election is atypical.
    What are the democratic candidates, Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, offering Georgians? Rose asks Nan, what are the issues that matter most to Georgia voters? How are the Democrats planning when historically, runoffs have very low participation rate? Nan also gives her take on incumbent Republican Senators David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
    On the next episode Rose sits down with Republican Janelle King and gets her point of view from the other side of the aisle!

  • Welcome to this blitz mini-season of The Women, where host Rose Reid investigates the runoff election that has the world watching Georgia, and the women who make all the difference.
    Atlanta native Josie Duffy Rice is the host of the podcast Justice in America. She is also a friend, new mom, ultimate dance buddy, and a fierce advocate. Josie is a writer, lawyer, and President of The Appeal, a platform for journalist watchdogs investigating the criminal justice system in niche areas and at local levels.
    Half a million people in our home state of Georgia are under correctional control—the largest rate of any state in the union. It affects a lot of Georgians, and it's a hot topic for a lot of Georgia voters.
    In this interview, Rose and Josie talk about what defunding the police really means, how the election on January 5th could impact 100,000 prisoners in Georgia, and how facing the horrors of the criminal justice system every day paradoxically gives Josie hope.
