Bolor Minjin

Meet Mongolian paleontologist Bolor Minjin. She has made protecting and preserving the fossil heritage of the Gobi desert her mission in life. Bolor's the founder and director of the Institute for the Study of Mongolian dinosaurs. In 2012, she was instrumental in stopping the sale of an illegally collected Tyrannosaur baatar skeleton from her country. Hers is a fascinating and not often heard story.

Jacki Zehner

Jacki Zehner is a woman on a mission. The founder of The Jacquelyn and Gregory Zehner Foundation, she funds and works with a whole host of organizations that focus on women's rights. In 2012, she became CEO of Women Moving Millions. The goal of this non-profit is to mobilize resources for the advancement of women and girls - so far, more than 200 people have given gifts of a million dollars or more.

Anna Cummins

Most of what we eat, drink, use every day of our lives comes packaged in petroleum plastic, which is designed to last forever. Only a paltry 5% of the plastics produced is recovered... a fact certainly not lost on the 5 Gyres Institute, which researches plastic pollution across the world's oceans, while engaging communities in finding solutions. You can't afford to miss this conversation with Anna Cummins, the group's Executive Director and co-founder.

Julianna Forlano

Julianna Forlano's take on life is funny, astute and irreverent. She's the writer, host, and creator of the award-winning political news parody Absurdity Today and also produces the Laughing Liberally Lab, a live political humor showcase in New York City. Julianna also happens to be an Adjunct Professor and a licensed psychotherapist. She's got plenty to say!

Jennifer Baumgardner

Born and raised in Fargo, North Dakota, Jennifer Baumgardner has one impressive career as an activist. The well-known journalist, author, writer, speaker, cultural critic and filmmaker can now add Publisher/Executive Director of the Feminist Press at CUNY to her resume. Hear how she was profoundly influenced by feminism at an early age and how that made her the woman she is today.

Anne Doyle

Anne Doyle's been there, done that - Radio/TV journalist, businesswoman, speaker, author, local elected public official. As a Sports Broadcaster at the CBS affiliate in Detroit, Anne had the distinction of being one of the first women to break the all boy locker room barrier. She also joined the world of business helping to raise the "Steel Ceiling" at the Ford Motor Company. Anne shares her story and advice in her book Powering Up! How America's Women Achievers Become Leaders.

Kate Clinton

Kate Clinton is nothing short of hilarious, in fact, she's been described as the most talented lesbian comedienne ever, but her audience extends well beyond the gay community. Her humor is irreverent, liberating and 'on the money.' In addition to performing, Clinton's worked extensively with social justice and non-profit groups.

Barbara Winslow

A committed feminist, Brooklyn College Professor Barbara Winslow teaches in the School of Education and the Women's Studies Program. She is also the founder and director of the Shirley Chisholm Project of Brooklyn Women's Activism (1945-present).
