Malala. Yes, that Malala. The youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate, global activist, and one of the most powerful voices of our time joins Welcome to the Party and she’s bringing that same fearless energy to women’s sports. At just 11 years old, Malala began speaking out for girls’ education. At 15, she survived a Taliban assassination attempt, and never stopped fighting. Now, she’s turning her focus to a new frontier: investing in and growing women’s sports through her platform, Recess. In this episode, Malala sits down with Abby Wambach, Julie Foudy, and Billie Jean King to talk about: * Why women’s sports are a global movement, and a business opportunity * How sport can drive equality, access, and real change * The fight to support the Afghan Women’s National Team under Taliban rule * What it actually means to “do the work” beyond the headlines Plus: birthday hype for producer Asia, Billie Jean King in Chicago, and a Party Starter packed with PWHL playoffs, UEFA Women’s Champions League, and Kentucky Derby history. This one’s bigger than sports, it’s about impact, courage, and what happens when one voice refuses to be silenced.
