What She Says Project
About What She Says
What She Says is an ongoing archive of female minds. Through a series of short interviews, I ask the same 6 to 9 questions to women from across the globe, inviting them to share their logic, projects, passions, and perspectives.
The goal is to provide a platform for and amplify female voices. Even when leading very different lives in different parts of the world, we often navigate similar friction. Through these interviews, we hope to reveal the common ground that can help to connect and inspire us.
About me
I am Jess Ridder. My background is in voice-over, acting, podcasting and journalism, industries built on how we share and shape stories.
Of the various projects I’ve started over the years, this is the one that stuck. I believe an equal society benefits everyone and feel strongly that diverse female perspectives are essential to the global conversation. This feels more urgent than ever, as women continue to be silenced and their viewpoints remain sidelined.
I created this archive to document how women navigate the world. I am interested in their logic, their pivots, and the insights that come from their lived experience.
