Ascend founder Marina LeGree was featured on the What's Your Kryptonite? podcast. Recorded in Karachi, Pakistan, in January 2025, Marina talks to host Eman Saeed about why gender equality is urgent everywhere, how Ascend's participants experience transformative growth, and what motivated her to create Ascend 10 years ago.
