Meet Haimie Getenga! She is a University of Pennsylvania student, and an alumna of Alliance Girls' High School. I had the joy of hosting her on this episode of The Space Plus Podcast, and our conversation is one I’m certain will stay with you long after you listen.
In this episode, Haimie and I dive into the layered experience of studying abroad. Those quiet moments of culture shock, the delicate dance between adapting to a new world and holding tight to the one that raised you, and the beauty of discovering yourself in the process. We talk about identity, and the courage it takes to stay grounded.
Our conversation also moves into something deeply important to both of us: the empowerment of girls and women. We reflect on how awareness of one’s rights must begin early, how cultural norms can subtly (and sometimes loudly) reinforce misogyny, and why education is one of the most powerful tools we have for challenging these narratives. We speak about the need for safe spaces within schools, the role of support systems, and the long but necessary journey toward cultural change; one that allows women to thrive without fear, silence, or limitations.
We explore mental health, community, and the responsibility of institutions to cultivate environments where difficult conversations are not just allowed, but encouraged.
I’m certain you’ll walk away with something. Maybe a lesson, maybe a spark of inspiration, or maybe just the comfort of hearing a story that feels a little like your own.
