Tales of Female Badassery

Tales of Female Badassery podcast is brought to you by the Not Sorry Club.(Find us on Instagram @Not.Sorry.Club)We’ve all heard those urban myths; the woman in the meeting that refused to take the notes.Or the guy that asked the woman ‘can you make the tea?’, and she’s the CEO, so...no.Such myths have inspired a generation of women to create boundaries, speak up, be bolder, and live unapologetically.But, for many of us, those stories seem like just that – stories. Fairytales. Myths.The Tales of Female Badassery podcast brings stories of everyday acts of badassery to life, from the voices of women in different parts of the world, different professions, and different journeys. These are women living unapologetically, and are inspiring examples of Female Badassery.As women, we are hungry for such stories of female Badassery.So, the more women share their stories of confidence and boldness, the more real, accessible, and inspiring those stories become for other women and girls.After all, you cannot become what you cannot see, or in our case, you can’t become what you can’t hear about (through this podcast!)Please note: while we've tried to keep the language clean, there may be the odd swear word. Parental advisory is advised for listeners under 18 years of age.And while we explore what Female Badassery means to our guests, you might be wondering, what does it mean to us here at the Not Sorry Club?Well, we love a mnemonic - so here goes!B oundaried (in a good way.

S2 - EPISODE 1: with guest ROSY MAY - Dance Artist and Content Creator

December 24, 2023 • Not Sorry Club

Welcome to Series 2 of Tales of Female Badassery!
This podcast shares & celebrates acts of Bravery, Authenticity, Determination, Assertiveness, Strength, and Self-Care by women from all over the world.
(And in case the mnemonic wasn't obvious, those are BADASS qualities!).

In this 1st episode of Series 2, we speak to UK-based dancer (and, fair to say, fast-growing influencer) ROSY MAY who shares her badass stories with our podcast host & Not Sorry Club Founder, Betty Adamou.

Join us as Rosy shares...

her recent work in sharing dances from the African diaspora
the challenges & triumphs of her dance career
channelling the "no's" from auditions into a big YES by taking her career into her own hands
speaking out about the lack-of-diversity-elephant-in-the room, while live on stage
How we all suffer from, what we're calling 'hindsight badassery'; having awesome things to say/retort after the fact (and always in the shower! Why?!).
How Rosy uses dance to build confidence in herself and others
And so much more!
