Combatting Gender Stereotypes: Empowering Girls And Women With Jodi Bondi Norgaard

From the moment we are born, society has already boxed us within a certain gender stereotype. You can see this manifest sharply in the toy aisle, where toys are gendered for boys and girls. An eye-opening trip in a toy store led our guest in this episode to take a deeper look into how traditional gender roles are ingrained in us from a very young age. Rosie Zilinskas interviews Jodi Bondi Norgaard, a speaker, thought leader, consultant, and author of the forthcoming book, MORE THAN A DOLL: How Creating a New Brand of Sports Dolls Turned into a Fight to End GENDER STEREOTYPES. Jodi shares with us her journey towards creating her company, Dream Big Toy Company, where she is combatting gender stereotypes and toys. She sheds light on the importance of challenging societal norms and advocating for gender equality, from the confines of your homes and beyond. So tune in and be empowered to take on the world as Jodi bravely uses her voice to create change.
