There’s a puzzle in this podcast, and it comes with our prize sociologist, Tressie McMillan Cottom.

Tressie McMillan Cottom.
Tressie McMillan Cottom has put it this way: that all Kamala Harris has to prove is that a woman can lead, that a black woman can be qualified, that a South Asian woman can come to feel familiar, that a childless woman can become a nation’s Momala, and that a Gen-X sensibility can resonate with boomers.
