"Women And Resistance" is a groundbreaking podcast celebrating the courage, resilience, and revolutionary spirit of women across the globe.

Each episode hosted by Aya Fubara Eneli and Adesoji Iginla will uncover untold stories of resistance against systemic oppression—be it colonialism, racism, sexism, or economic disenfranchisement. Through deep conversations, historical narratives, and contemporary analysis.

The podcast will amplify the voices of trailblazers, freedom fighters, and community builders whose legacies should be known, because many either never got their dues or have faded into obscurity.


From the bold defiance of Winnie Mandela and Fannie Lou Hamer to the activism of modern leaders like Mia Mottley and grassroots organizers like Wangari Maathai,
"Women And Resistance" illuminates the transformative power of women in shaping a more just world.


This is a call to honor the past, embrace the present, and apply the lessons for a more empowered future.

  • EP 7 Ida Gray - Hands That Healed | Women and Resistance

    EP 7 Ida Gray - Hands That Healed | Women and Resistance
    Jul 5 2026

    In this episode of Women and Resistance, hosts @Aya Fubara Eneli, Esq., and Adesoji Iginla sit down with the embodied voice of Dr Ida Gray Nelson Rollins, the first African American woman to earn a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in the United States, and the first Black dentist of any gender to practice in Chicago.

    We explore the inspiring life of Dr Ida Gray, the first African American woman dentist, highlighting her journey from adversity to professional excellence and her impact on the community.

    She was an orphaned infant handed to an aunt who couldn’t read her own name.

    We trace her path from a working-class childhood in Reconstruction-era Cincinnati.

    We examine her legacy and connect her story to Idlewild, Michigan’s “Black Eden,” the Black women’s club movement, and the oral health disparities that persist in Black communities today.

    Takeaways

    *Your beginnings do not determine your destiny.
    *Excellence in your work can open doors regardless of race or gender.
    *Mentoring others is a responsibility and a legacy.
    *Resilience and focus are key to overcoming societal barriers.
