In this episode of Kris Talks About the Wisdom of Women, Kris sits down with educator and storyteller Mamina Das for a powerful, multigenerational look at leadership, resilience, and the women who shaped her life.
From a grandmother who once led two villages in rural Odisha, to a mother who defied social expectations to pursue dance and acting, Mamina traces a lineage of women who led with compassion, courage, and conviction. She shares vivid stories of matriarchal strength, artistic rebellion, and the quiet power of listening—qualities she now carries into her own work with children and families.
Listeners will hear:
• How Mamina’s grandmother managed agricultural life and community leadership with both authority and deep compassion
• Why her mother chose passion over convention—and how she returned to dance after 35 years
• The leadership lessons Mamina learned from her father’s ability to listen without judgment
• What it means to honor your roots while forging your own path
• How podcasting transformed Mamina’s understanding of connection, storytelling, and self‑worth
This episode is a celebration of women’s wisdom across generations—how it’s lived, remembered, and passed forward. If you love stories of resilience, cultural heritage, and the everyday leadership of extraordinary women, this conversation will stay with you.
