Well Said

About this episode

In this solo episode, Sarah Jakes Roberts explores the importance of women's voices in history and encourages listeners to express their own.

Never trusting her voice could add value, host Sarah Jakes Roberts dedicates this solo episode to women who made history by daring to use theirs. Staying quiet after you've been wronged or when you've done wrong may seem safe. But how many of you know that pain is never really silent? It longs for an audible expression. So much so that SJR looks back at women in history who had every reason to remain silent — we're talking Sojourner Truth, Tarana Burke, and the Samaritan Woman at the Well — all to give you the language you need. To all the quiet ones holding back, imagine your voice going rogue: what would it say, who would it move, and how would it impact the world? Learn more about your ad choices.
