Nonprofit Organization Management - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Ask Women Anything is Media Action's flagship panel series based in Ottawa that aims to enable womxn to be in charge of their own narrative. The series was started in 2014, inspired by Reddit's Ask Me Anything. Media Action's volunteers came up with the tongue-in-cheek spin-off title with a goal to bring forward incredible, hard working and amazing womxn of Ottawa and offer them a platform to interact with the local community freely and intimately, without the intervention of media. As of 2019, the AWA panel has branched off as an independent non-profit organization under the leadership of Amanda Parriag, who has served as the president of Media Action for the last 10 years.
