Where to begin about Karama? She has done so much, from studying fruit flies as a geneticist to helping initiate legislation on heir property to facilitating economic advancement in under-served areas of Arkansas and beyond... . She's amazing! Be sure to follow the links below to find out more.
Uppity Women is hosted by Stephanie Harris, founder of Women Lead Arkansas, a non-partisan nonprofit whose mission is to empower women and girls to engage in politics, policy, and leadership.
This podcast is meant to showcase women (and men!) doing cool things; be a place for hard conversations we need to have before we can make progress (race, politics, feminism, etc.); bring people together to figure sh!t out and get stuff done; and generally thumb our noses at anyone who would tell us what we may or may not do as women.
