I’m thrilled to invite you to be a guest panelist on the inaugural episode of the Shero Nation Podcast. This will be one of many panel discussions. Our first topic will dive deep into a critical issue I explore in my book: Objectification Buy-in. This conversation is designed to spark thoughtful dialogue on how societal and cultural norms encourage women, consciously or unconsciously, to accept and even participate in their own objectification, and how we can begin to change that narrative.

Below are some key discussion points we will explore:

  1. What is Objectification Buy-in?
    • Understanding how objectification is not just imposed on women but how they are socialized to accept and perpetuate it.
  2. Who is Most Affected by Objectification Buy-in?
    • Identifying which groups—whether by age, race, economic status, or profession—are most vulnerable to this phenomenon and why.
  3. The Role of Social Media in Promoting Objectification
    • Analyzing how platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and others have accelerated the visibility and normalization of objectification in ways that impact self-perception and societal standards.
  4. The Harm to the Shero Evolution
    • Discussing how objectification buy-in disrupts the progress of women’s empowerment movements and undermines efforts to evolve beyond traditional gender roles.
  5. Intergenerational Harm
    • Exploring how these behaviors are passed down from generation to generation, affecting young girls and reinforcing harmful patterns.
  6. How Do We Change This Behavior?
    • Creating actionable steps for breaking the cycle of objectification buy-in, promoting self-awareness, and empowering women and girls to resist and redefine societal norms.

This discussion promises to be a powerful examination of a critical issue facing women today, and I believe your insights and expertise would be invaluable to our conversation. I hope you’ll consider joining us for this important dialogue and help us bring meaningful change through the Shero Nation platform.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
