In this episode, we bring you updates on two topics we’ve been covering these past few months: the war in Ukraine and abortion rights. Host Sylvia Cunningham speaks with Dr. Alicia Baier, the co-founder of Doctors for Choice Germany and an obstetrician in Berlin, and Dr. Aishat Olatunde, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Philadelphia and a fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health. We also check in with University of New Haven professor and Ukrainian native Olena Lennon, who recently visited her home country. More than five months since Russia launched its full-scale invasion into Ukraine, what lessons have the U.S. and Germany learned? Plus, Berlin-based DJ Paula Koski joins us for our monthly artist spotlight to talk about how her DJing style is evolving and how she’s reflecting on Pride month this year.
