Question: who are your feed your cat friends?🐱 cc: @oprah X @estherperelofficial
For decades, Gloria Steinem has hosted Talking Circles in her living room. She’s always said, “we produce oxytocin when we connect in person. We don’t experience empathy in the same way unless all five senses are engaged.” She’s right. Our brains are wired for this. When we gather in person…listening, laughing, crying, sharing…oxytocin flows. Trust builds faster. We leave feeling more seen, soothed, and connected than we ever could through a screen. Oxytocin is sometimes called the “love hormone.” It’s what runs through a woman’s body during birth. It bonds us. My favorite fact is we don’t just feel it when we’re kind…we feel it even when we witness kindness. I love the internet, but it’s often a place of high communication, low connection. Talking Circles are the opposite—HIGH connection. They remind us that nothing replaces being in a room together, engaging all five senses, and finding real solutions side by side. This one, on women’s health, felt both ancient and brand new. Big thanks to my wonderful, passionate, solution oriented cohost @its_alextaylor and the brilliant kind @apbenven for her wonderful words in the @nytimes.

Fellowship is an opportunity, to learn, to grow, and to walk alongside someone whose work has shaped the world. I’m incredibly humbled to be named Gloria Steinem’s fellow. I first met Gloria through her words. (She wrote my favorite book dedication of all time.) And now, to be able to soak up her wisdom in person is the honor of my life. One of Gloria’s most famous quotes is that “we are linked, not ranked.” and that truth has guided my own work. If you’ve ever read my writing, listened to one of my interviews, or sat across from me, you know this: most questions I ask are an attempt to reveal that regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or any identifier…we are all linked. Gloria’s work has always been about equality; not just for women, but for anyone who’s ever been denied opportunity or dignity. So many of the rights or norms that feel like a given today (for all people) exist because of the women’s movement. Each generation tries to push the work further, and my hope is to carry that spirit forward under her mentorship to contribute something meaningful to her life and legacy.

We had the honor of co-hosting a Talking Circle with @GloriaSteinem in the very living room where she began these conversations in the 1960s. What started as a circle decades ago is still sparking change today. We gathered, we listened, we shared—and we left more determined than ever to reimagine a health system that was never built for women, and to rebuild one that truly serves us all. Every voice matters. Every story matters. The circle doesn’t end here. When women come together, change isn’t just possible…it’s inevitable. — @its_alextaylor & @daniellerobay

Comment MANDANA I’ll DM you this episode of @questioneverythinghq: When the world feels like it’s burning, some people retreat. @MandanaDayani builds. The powerhouse behind I Am A Voter and Archewell, attorney, entrepreneur, and activist Mandana Dayani—a woman whose story spans war zones, boardrooms, and the front lines of cultural change. From escaping post-revolution Iran to advising the White House, launching viral civic movements, and leading Prince Harry & Meghan Markle’s media company, Mandana shares: • The childhood escape from Iran that shaped everything • The guilt that became her fuel • Why she left a “perfect” persona behind to tell the truth • What it really took to launch I Am A Voter—and why she’ll never stop • The heartbreak of October 7th and what it revealed about her community • How she built Our Campus United in response to rising antisemitism • Why integrity is her compass the question she asks herself every night • What she learned working with Meghan & Harry about storytelling at scale • The power of reinvention, especially at the top • Why optimism isn’t naive—it’s necessary Her story is proof that conviction can outlast chaos.
