Activists, writers, and organizers – Brittney Cooper and Rebecca Traister – join us to talk about the political landscape, the Kamala Harris campaign, and the state of Democracy. 


Discover: 

-The danger of looking for certainty – and what we should cultivate instead;

-Why we need to acknowledge our identity and bring joy back in politics;

-The types of attacks to anticipate for VP Harris as a Black woman and for other Black women in this country; and

-The way patriarchy responds to progress: what we’ve seen and what to look out for.
