Hello readers, we’re back again this week. We’re in full swing of our Different Day = Different Conversation special and today we have the only Black Woman serving as Campaign Manager for the current 2020 presidential cycle, Maya Rupert. 

Maya Rupert is the campaign manager for Julián Castro's (D) 2020 presidential campaign. She served as executive director of Castro's political action committee, Opportunity First, and worked as a senior policy advisor at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) while Castro was secretary of the department. Rupert also worked as a policy director for the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) and the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR)
