This special Women’s HERstory Month takeover of Fast Break brings three remarkable nonprofit leaders to the mic for a conversation about impact, resilience, and the power of women shaping their communities in real time.
Guest host Becky Menefee sits down with Brenda Campbell of Secure Futures, Tara Panasewicz of the Boys and Girls Club of Kenosha, and Jane Graham Jennings of The Women’s Community to explore the systems women are still navigating today and the breakthroughs happening across Wisconsin.
From financial capability as a catalyst for independence, to the transformative force of positive mentorship, to redefining strength as survival for women rebuilding after abuse, these leaders share candid stories from the front lines of community change. They reflect on what it means to protect organizational culture in emotionally heavy work, mentor the next generation of women, and challenge the barriers that still restrict safety, opportunity, and equity.
This takeover episode honors the women who paved the way and celebrates the women pushing the work forward now. It’s a conversation about voice, agency, and what it looks like when women continue writing HERstory every day.
