The Women’s Entrepreneurial Leadership (WE Lead) program’s Student Board has launched a brand new podcast for Women’s History Month: Her Entrepreneurial Rise. The podcast is created and hosted by Kelen Tamurian (’26), Director of Marketing and Program Innovation for the Student Board and amplifies the voices of women and marginalized leaders breaking barriers, transforming industries, and redefining leadership, entrepreneurship, and social change.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, WE Lead is collaborating with the Associated Students of the University of Washington’s Gender Equity Commission to bring you a series spotlighting the stories of diverse women founders in technology, health and wellness, sustainability, and activism. This isn’t just a highlight reel—it’s an unfiltered look at the challenges, failures, and breakthroughs that come with building something meaningful. These stories remind us that to make an impact, you don’t have to be perfect—you just have to start
What to Expect:
1. Empowering Stories: Hear from trailblazing women founders about their journeys and challenges.
2. Actionable Advice: Learn how they balance self-care with their professional and personal goals.
3. Equity in Action: Gain insights into how to take up space in a world that doesn’t always make room for women and other marginalized identities to succeed
Her Entrepreneurial Rise will have new episodes twice weekly for the remainder of March/Women’s History Month and can be found on Spotify. You can listen to the first two episodes now, with more to come!
