Messy Liberation

07/11/24 • 1 min

The journey toward liberation is messy AF, and Taina Brown and Becky Mollenkamp are here for it! 💥

Join them for the Messy Liberation, a podcast about current events, politics, pop culture, and business through an intersectional feminist lens.

Taina and Becky aren’t perfect activists or allies, so don’t expect polished and perfectly formulated conversations with 3-step solutions (that’s toxic capitalist BS anyway).

📣 Instead, listen in on their real-time, messy thoughts as they make sense of the world around them. If you’re sick of superficial approaches to business and personal challenges, then you’ll love the nuance they bring to every discussion.

Messy Liberation will get you thinking, help you feel less alone in the mess of personal development and systems liberation, and educate and inspire you, no matter where you are on the journey.

If you also want to create a more equitable world, check out Messy Liberation, available wherever you listen to podcasts, including Apple, Spotify, and YouTube. 🎧
