Marc Malkin Senior Editor, Culture and Events Bellamy Young is launching a new podcast series. The “Scandal” star has teamed up with humanitarian organization CARE for the six-episode “She Leads With CARE,” premiering March 11 to coincide with International Women’s Day.
The series features Young in conversation with women leaders from Honduras, Jordan, Nepal, Tanzania, Ukraine and Vietnam. Young has been working with CARE since 2018. “I have always been very moved by their impact and seeing firsthand what a difference just reaching out with a little support, not just financial, but interest and apparatus, structure, programs, how it can create lasting, transformational change,” Young tells me.
