Wise Women Radio is a powerful platform dedicated to uplifting and informing women through real conversations about work, opportunity, and community. Produced by HHW Ohio, the show highlights inspiring stories, career resources, and pathways to success—especially in nontraditional fields. Our goal is simple: to make sure every woman has the knowledge, confidence, and support she needs to take her next big step.
Dr. J and Casey talk with the Northeast Ohio Workers Center about Cleveland’s new pay transparency law, which requires salary ranges in job postings and bans asking about salary history. This change aims to close wage gaps — especially for women and marginalized workers. They highlight the coalition behind the law, the importance of grassroots organizing, and ongoing efforts to educate and empower workers in the region.
