Welcome to the Questions Bar — Inkandescent’s new podcast and video show that invites you in to listen in on a chat with two girlfriends talking about topics of the day that touch their minds, bodies, spirits, souls, and hearts: AlinaZ in Los Angeles and Hope Katz Gibbs in Washington, DC.

Two of the founders of the Empowered Together Network, on InkandescentWomen.com, began talking offline about the impact of the current administration on their lives. That conversation inspired Alina to suggest “Let’s start recording these! I bet other women feel just like we do and will benefit from knowing they aren’t alone.”

And so the Questions Bar was born. 

While the episodes are recorded and produced by our editor, Nelson Benavides, the plan has long been to start rolling them out every Tuesday at 2pm EST. Each episode has a theme — love, kindness, don’t lean in, and more. Listen, watch, and if you’d like more, we are happy to share the transcript with you.

There’s more: Starting this summer, we plan to take your questions and also invite other girlfriends to be on the show so we can talk about the issues that we’re all facing around the world in 2025.

Join us and raise a glass as we celebrate the power of sisterhood on The Questions Bar!
