Join Jameela LIVE on stage from New York this week as she sits down with former US. Secret Service Special Agent and current TV host and author Evy Poumpouras for a unique fireside chat about women’s safety. As we’ve heard recently on social media, many people would rather be in the forest with a bear vs. a man, and knowing that 4.8 million women in the United States alone fall victim to physical assault and rape each year, learning self-defense techniques and what to do in tricky situations can be so empowering. Jameela, the I Weigh Community and Well+Good came together for this event to inspire women to take back their power, and walk together. You can follow Evy on Instagram @evypoumpouras If you have a question for Jameela, email it to [email protected], and we may ask it in a future episode!You can find transcripts from the show on the Earwolf websiteI Weigh has amazing merch – check it out at podswag.comSend what you 'weigh' to [email protected] is on Instagram @jameelajamil and TikTok @jameelajamilAnd make sure to check out I Weigh’s Instagram, Youtube and TikTok for more!
