About OnlyFems

OnlyFems is a movement and safe space where women come together to discuss the issues that women and girls face in the world with the overarching mission to give women the tools to be financially empowered and pursue and gain financial independence, by sharing inspiring stories and wisdom. You'll hear from badass women, like Colonel Christina "Thumper" Hopper, the first black female combat fighter pilot on how she overcame the most arduous obstacles to successfully complete more than 50 missions and was awarded the Aerial Achievement Medal, Air Medal, and Combat Action Medal. You'll hear from business and finance leaders on how they're advocating for diversity and inclusion in their workplaces, changing the perception that women do not belong in the driver's seat of the most male-dominated fields. You'll hear from women that shifted their circumstances from surviving to thriving by shifting their mindset and believing that their destiny called for them to thrive. In every interview, Iyandra's guest will share how they got to where they are, the challenges and obstacles they have had to overcome to get here, and what drives their mission to empower, uplift, and include women. If you're desperate to finally be a part of a conversation with other women, a community, that is fresh, raw, authentic, real, and practical, OnlyFems is the podcast that will do just that. With new episodes dropping every Wednesday, make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more by visiting www.onlyfemspodcast.com
