Speaking Truth to Power: Madison Griffiths and Sonia Orchard

Join Madison Griffiths and Sonia Orchard for a fearless conversation about power, control, and the urgent act of reclaiming your voice. Drawing on memoir, research, social commentary, and storytelling, they examine the realities of gendered power and explore the silences that shape — and too often constrain — women’s lives. Hosted by Magdalena Ball.
