250 The Women We Come From – a Celebration of Moms with Special Guest Hosts

Welcome to The Women We Come From: a special series for and about our moms and leadership during the month of May on the Well Woman Show. I’m your host Giovanna Rossi, and I’ll be joined all month long by guest hosts interviewing their mothers about life, love, leadership and the wisdom they passed on to their daughters. The stories they share will make you laugh and cry, but most of all they help us honor the hard work of being a woman, a mom and a leader. All the best and most effective leadership skills – really everything we need to grow into compassionate, driven, smart leaders- are passed down to us through these generations of strong women.

Today’s program will feature clips from all four hosts and full interviews can be heard on the Well Woman Show podcast at NPR.org during the month of May

Then next week we’ll be featuring Babsy Sinandile’s full interview, and on May 26th, we’ll have Alicia Ortega’s interview. We end the series with my interview with my mom on June 2nd.
