If She Can Make It Here is Amplify Her® Foundation’s podcast, that celebrates the bold and fearless women leading across New York City. The series features changemakers, like Gloria Steinem, Ai-jen Poo, Reshma Saujani and New York State Attorney General Letitia James, who build pathways, shift narratives, and transform systems to advance gender equity.

In the latest episode of our podcast If She Can Make it Here, Amplify Her Foundation Founder and Executive Director Marti Speranza Wong sits down with Governor Kathy Hochul - the first woman elected Governor of New York. Together, they discuss her leadership journey, the experiences that shaped her path to public service, and how she has used the power of her office to advance policies that strengthen economic opportunity, support working families, and improve the lives of women and girls across New York. 

Between feature episodes, If She Can Make It Here spotlights stories from some of Amplify Her® Foundation’s grantee partners: Full STEAM Forward, Lower Eastside Girls Club, New Yorkers United for Childcare, Seeds of Fortune, Welcome to Chinatown, and YWCA Brooklyn. These conversations reveal how innovation, from STEM education to entrepreneurship, fuels long-term impact.
