🎙️ Episode 8: “Creating and Sharing Rural Pathways” of 100 Rural Women & Their Stories is live!
In this episode, we feature two extraordinary women creating Rural Pathways: co-founders Charity Anderson and Staci Gilpin. Charity, who grew up in Appalachia, shares how her upbringing shaped her commitment to equity, opportunity, and sustainable community development. Staci, raised on a small Iowa farm and later working in special education, reflects on how those experiences strengthened her belief that rural women’s leadership is essential—if only they are given the opportunity to have a seat at the table. Together, they discuss the power of mentorship, the importance of investing in rural communities, and their commitment to helping others succeed.
The stories shared in this episode demonstrate that when rural women are empowered, they’re not just surviving—they’re thriving, innovating, and rewriting what leadership looks like.
