    Introducing the Extra-Ordinary Women Podcast

    For our inaugural podcast episode, we interviewed Latanya Mapp Frett, President and CEO of Global Fund for Women (GFW). Latanya, who got her start in international affairs as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Lesotho, shares her journey from Volunteer to CEO of an NGO supporting global rights for women. Latanya discusses her years of experience supporting  grassroots organizations to end civil war in Liberia, provide aid to women's education in Afghanistan and Iran, and assist women's groups in Ukraine.

    Play now to hear about her new book, The Everyday Feminist: The Key to Sustainable Social Impact-Driving Movements We Need Now More than Ever,  as well as GFW's Emmy-nominated film series Fundamental: Gender Justice: No Exceptions.
