I am happy to share my expertise. Hear me discuss my research, single woman action plans, and more.
Dr. Joy and I chatted about about the new layers of being single that have been illuminated by the pandemic, how community care is more critical now than ever, and policy changes we should consider to make the country more supportive for single women.
Dr. Joy and I discussed the messages we get about dating and relationships from the media, how we can challenge and recreate some of these narratives for ourselves, what it looks like to embrace the freedom and potential that comes with being a single woman.
I spoke with Shani Silver of a Single Serving and we discussed the societal messaging received by single women.
