Welcome to the Fantastic Women and Where to Find Them Podcast! There are so many great stories out there about trailblazing women around the world just waiting to be discovered. Join us once a week as we discuss fantastic women through history and around the world while enjoying some herstory-inspired cocktails. So listen in (and subscribe!) if you want to hear us chat fascinating facts about fantastic females.
She was the lioness of Lisabi/She is an Afghan animator
Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti/Sara Barakzai
Priscila recounts the motivating tale of the Lioness of Lisabi; the Nigerian educator, political campaigner, suffragist, and women's rights activist. Tray chats about Afghanistan's first female animator and her inspiring journey to become a digital artist despite the odds being stacked against her.
Please note that this episode was recorded in early August 2021, before the full exodus of the American troops from Afghanistan so our conversation reflects this. We currently do not know what the future holds for Sara, and the countless girls and women and their right to education under Taliban rule.
Our thoughts are with the Afghan people at this time.

She is an Output Producer for ITV News
Weee're baaaaaaaack! Hello everyone, we missed you! After a long hiatus, Priscila and Tray are back recording Fantastic Women and Where to Find Them. Unfortunately we're still recording remotely (due to this thing called a pandemic) but it also means we have unrestricted access to a fantastic woman who has lots of views and loves the news - Bairbre Holmes! We decided to kick off this season's episodes with a slightly different format than usual so in this episode we are having the chats with Bairbre, a producer with ITV news, who is currently based in the UK.
We are also delighted to be back drinking cocktails on a Sunday morning together - Sláinte!
