Girls Night #286: How She Does It: Advocating for Yourself in your Career — with Suzanne Kianpour

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Today we’re continuing our “How She Does It.” series. About once a month we do a profile of a woman who’s living a beautifully, unique life and we'll get to hear the behind-the-scenes of how she does it.

And I’m so excited because today we’re talking with my dear friend, Suzanne Kianpour - I call her Suzy. Suzy is an Emmy-nominated journalist, documentarian, and presenter who has reported from conflict zones and corridors of power as a BBC foreign correspondent. She is the founder of Helmet to Heels, a platform amplifying the voices of women driving global impact, and the host of News with Suz, a series blending international affairs with fashion and culture. 

Suzy is a force to be reckoned with - a confident, passionate, and inspiring individual who has spent years telling the stories that need to be told. I know you'll love hearing about her journey and the lessons she's learned along the way.

Don’t forget — all season long we’re doing a weekly giveaway — all you have to do is take a quick screen shot of the show as you’re listening and share it on social media. This week, our winner is going to get a $50 visa gift card — perfect for a girls night of your own! 

Again, all you have to do is take a screenshot of the show and share it on your social media. Tag me @smaywilson and you’re entered to win! We’ll pick a winner every week! 

Okay, with that said, let’s dive into my conversation with Suzy.
