In this episode of Earthsayers in Conversation, host Shannon speaks with Alex, a pediatric nurse and activist from the Handmaids of Minnesota.

Alex discusses the symbolism behind the Handmaid uniform, which represents the silencing of women's voices.

Alex shares poignant stories from her activism, including supporting a fellow nurse in a domestic violence case and witnessing tragedies that fuel her commitment to change.
