United SHE Stands Trailer23 Aug 202200:02:34

When it comes to the American political landscape, have you felt like your voice isn’t represented? Have you been upset about what’s happening around you but don’t know how to get involved?  Have you disengaged because you’ve felt defeated or helpless?  If you’ve answered yes to any of those questions, then you’re in the right place.  

For years we’ve felt this way too.  There were times we’ve wanted so badly to get involved and make an impact or drive change but didn’t know how, and there were times we felt so helpless we just disengaged and tried to shut it all out.  We have not heard our voices, as women or as kind, empathetic humans, represented in our government or in the media.  We have not been able to have conversations at family gatherings or with friends and loved ones because our politics have become so divisive.  We want to change that.

As two midwestern women from Ohio, who have not spent their time engaged in politics or involved in our government, but rather in corporate America, we knew we had to start with educating ourselves, and we want to bring you along on our journey.

We are here to create a safe, kind community for women to learn alongside us about the workings of our government and the biggest issues facing our country.  We want to ensure women have their voice heard in politics. We are here to create a platform where that can happen, and we are here to inspire and empower women to do just that.  We believe we must play a role in solving the issues facing our communities, cities, states, and our country. I mean after all; we are 51% of the country’s population!

We believe this can happen by bringing human connection, kindness, empathy, and an open mind to the conversations about and surrounding American politics.  How? Well, we have a few ideas…

By continually educating ourselves on issues and the workings of the United States government. By sharing our research and education with this community to bring other women along on this journey.  By having other women as guests on the podcast to share their knowledge and experiences.  By using our leadership aptitude and experiences to build a community where diverse individuals with different backgrounds and beliefs can come together and connect as human beings.  Ultimately, by ensuring we, as humans, can have difficult conversations and we, as women, are educated, empowered, and involved to solve our nation’s greatest problems.  

And don’t worry… we’ll have a little fun along the way. Sit back, crack open a beer because you know we will, and enjoy listening to our wonderful voices. I mean, our educational journey together, as United SHE Stands.

We hope you’ll join us.

The 1st Amendment: Exploring the Freedom of the Press11 Jun 202400:24:38

What if the press wasn't free to report on government actions? Imagine a world where the government controlled the flow of information. This episode of United She Stands takes you on a journey through the essential role of freedom of the press as enshrined in the First Amendment. We kick off with a refresher on the First Amendment's five fundamental freedoms, with a spotlight on why the founders deemed the freedom of the press crucial for democracy. From the early days of newspapers to the modern digital age, learn how this clause has evolved to encompass all forms of media.

Join us as we recount the gripping Pentagon Papers case and its significant implications for press freedom, where classified Vietnam War documents leaked by Daniel Ellsberg led to a groundbreaking Supreme Court decision. Explore the distinctions between public figures and private citizens in libel cases, and the responsibilities of journalists and private citizens alike in today's media landscape. We also revisit the 1940s Hutchins Commission's call for the media's moral obligations, diving into contemporary challenges like fake news and the ongoing threats to press freedom. Tune in to understand the enduring power and responsibility of the press in safeguarding our democracy.

Our candid dialogue promises to enlighten and challenge your perspective on what it means to be a part of the democratic process, and why stepping into the arena, no matter how small your first step, can be a journey worth taking.

From the Vault: Life in the Classroom: A Conversation about being a Teacher in Modern Day America with Miss J.26 Dec 202301:07:40

We're taking a break from releasing new episodes for a few weeks over the holidays. This week, we dug into our vault and are re-releasing our episode on being a teacher in modern day America with Miss J.  Don't worry! We'll be back in action with new episodes in the new year.

Original Air Date: August 8th, 2023

In this episode, we sit down with Miss J. to talk about her experience as a teacher, her perspective of our country's education system, and why she decided to leave the profession.

Miss J. has dedicated seven years of her life to teaching. She embarked on her classroom-teaching journey by specializing in math and science instruction at a private school, catering to students in 6th-12th grade. 

In 2018, she enrolled in her Master's degree in math education and special education. This allowed her to transition to a position within the New York State Public Schools, where she spent the next two years working with high school students in math.

Last year, Miss J. decided to relocate to Maryland to be closer to her family. During this time, she taught Geometry in the Maryland Public School System. However, recently, she made the difficult decision to step away from teaching.
