Everlutionary: Healing and Transforming the World
E21 - Honoring Women and Healing Men
March 11, 2025
In this solo episode of Everlutionary, host Hawah Kasat proposes that the human species will continue to hurdle itself toward the sixth mass extinction unless we can actualize balance and find equal value in how feminine and masculine energies are expressed in the social, political, cultural, and economic aspects of society. In this special episode honoring Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, Hawah shares how author and activist bell hooks has inspired his thinking, how he believes men’s emotional repression contributes to societal harm, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to collective healing and liberation for both men and women. Through personal stories, historical insights, and reflections on feminist thought, he challenges us to rethink leadership, relationships, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion), and justice in a way that uplifts all people, regardless of gender.
In this special episode honoring Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, Hawah shares how author and activist bell hooks has inspired his thinking, how men’s emotional repression contributes to societal harm, and how embracing vulnerability can lead to collective healing and liberation for both men and women.


Featuring the wisdom of guest bell hooks, this conversation highlights the transformative power of feminine leadership, emotional intelligence, and radical love in shaping a more just future.


For centuries, society has prioritized masculine qualities, competition, aggression, and control, while devaluing the feminine traits of empathy, collaboration, and care. The consequences? Political gridlock, environmental destruction, ongoing wars, and fractured relationships. In this solo episode, Hawah Kasat reflects on the impact of this imbalance, proposing that restoring global feminine leadership is essential for our species' survival.


Drawing from feminist thinkers like bell hooks, as well as the governance structures of the Iroquois Confederacy, Hawah explores how societies have flourished when both masculine and feminine energies are given equal value. He also discusses the systemic barriers historically holding women back, from legal restrictions on credit and property ownership to their continued underrepresentation in leadership today.


This episode weaves together personal memories, historical insights, and practical solutions, urging men to embrace vulnerability and advocating for feminine leadership as essential to restoring balance in our world.
