We are back in Tennessee for this episode to talk about "The Year of the Mom" with Ailina Carona - one of three moms in the state who banded together to run in their districts to better protect children in their communities. While she didn't plan to be a politician, after a school shooting happened less than 30 miles from her home and continued efforts to take away women's bodily autonomy, Ailina was motivated to throw her hat in the ring. She is currently running for House District 57 and took the time to chat about her experiences as a Hispanic woman, mom, and non-politician (she's a permanent make-up artist!) running for office.
