Hello, financial feminists. Welcome back. I am coming to you from the past

recording this because I am taken some time off. Busy winter of writing the book, promoting the book, editing the book, and

it's nice to have a little bit of time and hopefully future me's having a good time on a beach somewhere.

It's been so thrilling meeting all of you in our cities for our book tour and we're so thrilled to be heading out more in the future

once I'm back and rested. We're going to be heading a few cities across the US to make sure to check out her first 100k.com slash events to keep up with where we'll be next.

And if you don't see your city on that list, here's how it goes. I need you to call your independent bookstore

and they need a request that we come. This is kind of like the order of operations. So many people are like, come to my city, come here, come there

and I would love to come meet you. However, we have to have the bookstores reach out to us to coordinate an event.

So if you do want us to come to your city, if you would like to meet me and get your book signed,

have the independent bookstore of your choice, reach out to us and do a little bit of logistics and we will hopefully be seeing you soon.

Okay, today's episode is fundamental to understand why I do the work that I do and why feminism is so much more than just a theory or a concept

and is a daily practice and lifelong work and few are more intimately acquainted with that work than Lena Aberroffy.

Lena is a lifelong feminist activist, aid worker and academic with decades-long experience working on women's rights worldwide. She's

fucking incredible. Her work has taken her to over 20 countries in the last 25 years and she has served in a range of organizations and a senior advisory capacity,

including the Arab Institute for Women at the Lebanese American University.

And she sits on various international boards, including she decides the Global Institute of Women Leadership, the Global Women's Institute and more.

Lena shares about her experience emigrating to the United States as an Arab woman in the 1980s. Her work that she does globally for women and girls experiencing violence

and how we can be better advocates and feminists in our own communities while supporting women's rights globally.

We definitely dive into a few heavy topics in this episode, but Lena's passion for her work is so infectious and is so so so important.

As we continue to define and redefine what feminism is every single day, let's go ahead and get into it.

But first, a word from our sponsors.

Do you ever come to New York?
