Description

In a world on fire, Working Girl brings you the stories of women who refuse to look away — and choose to do the work.

Hosted by activist Rachel Mpala, this podcast spotlights women working in the trenches of social justice and nonprofit sectors: from fighting gun violence and homelessness to defending abortion access, dismantling racism, and navigating America’s broken systems.

Each week, we go beyond headlines and job titles to ask: What does it really take to stay in the fight for justice — without burning out How do these women protect their joy while doing some of the hardest work in America? And how can you support them?

Expect raw conversations, practical insights, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be a woman working at the intersection of purpose, pain, and power.

This isn’t corporate career advice anymore.
It’s a reckoning — and a rally cry.

Topics include: women in nonprofits, activism, burnout, social justice, gender equity, homelessness, gun violence, reproductive rights, healthcare, racism, prison reform, immigration, human rights, education, xenophobia, trans rights, veterans, feminism, progressive leadership
