people • place • power is a podcast that explores big questions about activism through the eyes of changemakers around the world who are creating change in unprecedented and underreported ways.
the podcast questions traditional notions of who has power, highlighting the work of activists, usually women and people of color, who gather strength from their communities to affect change.
