PODCAST GUEST & SPEAKER
Kim Carpenter
Writer // Activist // Sex-Positive Feminist
I left Hollywood to write honestly about women, power, sex, and freedom—and built a career in social justice to live those values in the real world. What began as a rejection of commercial storytelling became a lifelong exploration of women’s autonomy. My feminist writing and nonprofit leadership both express my commitments to dismantle patriarchy, redistribute power and wealth, and fund frontline movements that change lives. My work centers around a single question: how do people, particularly women and people of color, live freely in systems designed to oppress us?
