   11. Womenhood and the Wolves with Sereena Abbassi and Valentina Antollini

   “Each woman has potential access to Rio Abajo Rio, this river beneath the river. She arrives there through deep meditation, dance, writing, painting, prayer-making, singing, drumming, active imagination, or any activity which requires an intense altered consciousness. A woman arrives in this world-between-worlds through yearning and by seeking something she can see just out of the corner of her eye. She arrives there by deeply creative acts, through intentional solitude, and by practice of any of the arts.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype This episode surrounds we take inspiration from Clarissa Pinkola Estés' book, Women Who Run With the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype. Joined by Valentina Antollini and Sereena Abbassi we look into how our womanhood can be challenged, perceived and embodied through our identities and career paths. On this episode, we have Valentina and Sereena. Valentina is an artist, designer, and mentor for women. She graduated in architecture at Central St. Martins, worked as a software engineer and is now working full-time as a mentor and consultant for women leaders, creators, and entrepreneurs. Sereena Abbassi is committed to creating organisational transformation that is grounded in deep seat of belief that all our liberation are tied to each other. Her approach is both creative and strategic and done with lots of heart. Serena is an equity and inclusion practitioner, belonging researcher, holistic life coach, public speaker and writer, and was formerly the worldwide head of culture and inclusion.

    Welcome back to the A is for Morenike Podcast! We took a lil' break... In 2016, the #FeesMustFall movement addressed the inequities within institutions. This included the failure for the South Africans born and bred in the country to address the need for more diverse staff especially when needing Black faculty members aiming to address the necessity towards decoloniality and African Urbanism. These are just a handful of voices from the students I came across...
