Speaking about the podcast, Co-host and The Shona Project Founder, Tammy Darcy said:
“We have met over 100,000 girls through our work in schools around the country. We have heard their stories but we’re also approached all the time by parents who want to support and empower their daughters. There's no manual out there, unfortunately, so myself and Alison are creating this podcast to support parents, including ourselves!”
Alison Curtis, Co-host and TodayFM Presenter said:
“I was thrilled when Tammy first mentioned the idea of doing The Shona Project Podcast. I’m really passionate about empowering young girls and women, to thrive in modern-day society and to feel happy and confident during their teenage years.”
About the podcast
The podcast aims to build on the work of The Shona Project in supporting the young women of Ireland.
The organisation believes that not only do young women need to be supported directly, but they also need to be supported by those around them. The Shona Project aims to play a part in educating this ecosystem.
