So, what’s it really like being a young Black woman working in the federal government? Spoiler: It’s not like Scandal or The West Wing—it’s a lot more emails, bureaucracy, and moments where you realize you’re the only Black woman in the room.
In this episode, we’re spilling all the tea on our time as political appointees in the Biden-Harris administration. From the highs of working in the White House and federal agencies to the lows of burnout, imposter syndrome, and having to prove ourselves constantly—we’re keeping it raw, real, and unfiltered like always.
We get into:
How we actually got our jobs in government (hint: it’s not on Indeed)
The culture shock of going from campaigning to working in federal agencies
What nobody told us before taking the job
Why we had to resign—and how presidential transitions really work
Would we ever go back to government work?
If you’ve ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in D.C.—or what it’s like navigating power as young Black women—this one’s for you.
