The Tenderness Revolution

A series of conversations between journalist Yvonne Gavan and a range of guests about the pivotal moments of tenderness that help shape the course of our lives. Because these experiences tell us about what it means to be human. And invite us into a new way of seeing the world and each other.


The show is being produced by American journalist, Aisha Chowdhry. We would love to hear from you. Email us at thetendernessrevolution@gmail.com or follow us @thetendernessrevolution on Instagram.
