Making Her Story: A Special Series From Where We Live
This spring, Connecticut Public Radio's Where We Live sits down with three prominent Connecticut women from very different backgrounds.
Host Lucy Nalpathanchil will ask each about “her story” — the journey that led them to success.
We’ll explore questions like how have they confronted gender bias in their careers? How do they balance work expectations with their personal lives? And what do they want the next generation of women leaders to know? This live series will also be taped for broadcast on the popular Where We Live daily radio program on Connecticut Public Radio.
Join us for this three-part series, and bring your questions! Tickets include a brief reception with our featured guest, and Lucy Nalpathanchil, along with the production team from Connecticut Public Radio.
