Created especially for RISE Together, the Oh Hun Women’s Hour highlights conversations with active females from the Oh Hun collective. The ‘Huns’ are remaining positive and continually contributing to society. They include individuals with varying disciplines from the realm of cultural arts and music, home schooling mums, a female business owner, front line health worker and social care worker.
The collective are battling and ploughing through, going above and beyond to keep their lives and livelihood in check, as well as their loved ones. Paying homage to the NHS, education sectors and city council workers who are keeping the city on its feet during COVID-19.
This episode showcases a story of life during lockdown from differing perspectives; females battling on the front line in the medical field, mothers detailing their struggles with the up rise of home schooling, women who have saved their business through quick thinking and strong preparation, council workers who provide support in essential work, artists who creatively move to online platforms to continuingly express and engage with audiences to lift the mood of daily boredom.
All conversational interviews reflect a positive sense of pride that has taken place across the city region. They capture a piece of history and document the struggles and strength of female empowerment.
