QBT with Shawny and Jerms

EP009: Public Policy and Personal Power with Amanda Manjarrez


Listen Later

At QBT, we believe that telling your story is a radical act. For this week's session, we are joined by the incredibly talented and racial equity leader, Amanda Manjarrez. Currently serving as the Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs at Chalkboard Project, Amanda talks to us about the importance of stepping into our own power and the impacts of public policy for communities of color and queer people. The babes discuss resiliency in this work and supporting younger queer folks as we imagine a better future. We chat about Kneeling Nancy, J. Karen Rowling, and all the racists losing their jobs. Also, stop watching The Help. Seriously.
