In this extra special episode, we're celebrating 5 years of the Women of Video podcast with a live panel recorded at the VidSummit Women of Video Mixer! I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Monica Kahn, Olivia Owens, and Cassandra Bankson, an inspiring group of women creators, and we didn’t hold back. We dive into the real challenges of being women in the creator economy, sharing personal stories of overcoming obstacles and celebrating the power of representation. From building community to calling on platforms and brands to step up and support women creators, this conversation was filled with authenticity and energy. Together, we’re shaping the future of media and content creation, and this episode is a perfect snapshot of that journey!
