Cristina Cala is the founder of The Why Women Project, a feminist platform powered by a collective of professional women in media, marketing, and more.
Though she began her career in
the corporate world, Cristina has been working with freelancers for
many years and learned early on the importance of community and
building a network. As she’s branched out on her own, she’s grown
to understand the difference between the male gaze and the feminine
gaze and how that changes her perspective on her business and her
personal story.
Cristina has deep insights into the freelancing
world from a woman’s perspective. In this episode, we talk about
the feminist gaze, what it is, and how we can use it to grow
together as a community along with many other great topics related
to both business and societal challenges.
“That's when the growth happens. It happens privately. It's not what you see on Instagram and Twitter. It's not the performative optical of, ‘Oh, I'm talking about it, I'm posting about it. And now I get my brownie points.’ What are you doing in your life to talk to the people in your life and sway the way that they think and change their belief system so that they don't perpetuate it in their communities?” ~ @cristinacala
