Fifty years after Aileen Hernandez served as President of the National Organization for Women, Christian Nunes has become NOW’s second African American president.

Advocating for the empowerment of women and girls has been Christian’s life work. She expresses a generous and inclusive vision for NOW’s future and is proud of the organization’s long-standing core values of ending racism and homophobia. But she is also mindful that white privilege and white fragility are all too real, not just in American society, but also in the women’s movement. 

Terry and Christian talk about what it means to be an intersectional ally, about the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and about the difference between equality and equity.
