Conscious Conversations

by Aubrey Bailey

This is a podcast that advocates for women’s rights and specifically discusses Female Genital Mutilation or Cutting. This podcast is a result of a passion to continue the conversation surrounding FGC. My hope is that through these episodes you will gain a better understanding of what FGC is and how to help! Everyone deserves to feel empowered–especially women–and entitled to our own choices, opinions and to enjoy equal rights free from fear of violence.
