litHERacy

because an informed girl is a protected girl

An Australian podcast for young women Evidence-based. Honest. Judgment free. New episode every Thursday
Maddie, founder of LitHERacy, in the studio

We have the conversation.No matter how awkward it gets.

LitHERacy exists because I got tired of pretending I had the answers. Somewhere between the caring adults and the conversation I actually needed, the real stuff got lost. So I made a promise to my daughter, and to daughters everywhere, because they deserve so much better than silence. - Maddie Genest, founder
