Reflections – Episode 19

This week's episode is focussed on sharing In Her Corner Host, Liseli Sitali's "Reflections" on the lessons learned from the incredible women, we have had the honour of celebrating through sharing the story of their journey. Having an episode to reflect on the insights shared so far feels apt in a week when we’re commemorating those who lost their lives to defend our civil liberties.

Without the selfless sacrifices of the countless men and women, we would not have the opportunity to create this platform. It also feels apt to take a moment to celebrate the significant strides that women have made in recent history, namely Kamala Harris became the first female US Vice-President, Dr Kathrin Jansen being on the brink of developing a COVID-19 vaccine and of course In Her Corner's previous guests continuing to smash countless glass ceilings.
