Episode 7: Igniting Intersectional Feminism with Allison Tenney
This week I’m sitting down with Allison Tenney, fitness coach, and founder of the Ignited Womxn Summit.
On the heels of the 2016 Presidential Election, Allison was inspired to create an event to help unite and empower women. In the spring of 2017, she hosted the first Ignited Womxn Summit to do just that, and through her experiences hosting the event, she has gained valuable insight on the importance of diversity, inclusion, and advocating for women of all backgrounds.
