Episode 96~ Think One Woman Can't Change the System? Think Again with Kelly Nevins

<p>What happens when women stop accepting the systems they&#39;re handed and start changing them?In this episode of Unapologetically Badass, I sit down with fellow Rhode Islander Kelly Nevins, CEO of the Women&#39;s Fund of Rhode Island, for a conversation about women&#39;s voices, advocacy, leadership, and the very real impact we can have when we&#39;re willing to speak up.Kelly has spent decades working in the nonprofit sector and the last ten years leading the Women&#39;s Fund of Rhode Island, advancing gender equity through research, advocacy, grantmaking, and systems change.And she&#39;s got the receipts.From helping negotiate language in Rhode Island&#39;s Fair Pay Act to advocating for policies affecting women across the state, Kelly has seen firsthand what happens when women get involved in the decisions that shape their lives.We&#39;re talking about:- Why systems change isn&#39;t just for politicians and policy experts- How everyday women can advocate for issues that matter to them- The laws and policies changing life for Rhode Island women- Why investing in women benefits entire communities- Menopause, the workplace, and why THAT conversation finally matters- Kelly&#39;s own evolution from nonprofit leader to systems-change advocate- What she&#39;s learned after a decade leading the Women&#39;s FundAnd yes, we&#39;ll probably find time to talk about red wine and kick-ass women saving the world... because clearly Kelly came to the right podcast.This is a conversation about realizing that your voice matters and learning how to use it. www.wfri.org</p>
