BONUS: Ordinary Equality — Hanging On to a Future

Author: Acast Creative Studios June 29, 2022 Duration: 27:34

Well, here we are. We're on the other side of what we've been talking about for years. Roe v. Wade has been struck down, and for the first time in our lifetime, abortion is no longer protected.

In our first episode, Kate and Jamia talk to folks who've been living, and working, and surviving, in a state where abortion access has been under fire for years, even before Roe fell -- Kentucky.

Tune into The Brown Girls Guide to Politics for a necessary and vibrant perspective on power, policy, and culture, all centered on the experiences of women of color. Host A’shanti Gholar doesn’t just report on the political landscape; she builds a space for dialogue with the very women who are actively reshaping it. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair to a crucial conversation, whether it’s a one-on-one interview with an elected official, a deep dive with a community organizer, or a candid roundtable analyzing the week’s headlines. This podcast, produced by Acast Creative Studios, moves beyond the standard political commentary to explore how issues truly impact communities of color and the women leading the charge. You’ll hear authentic stories from candidates on the trail, insights from cultural influencers, and frank discussions that connect the dots between news, society, and daily life. It’s for anyone seeking a more inclusive and realistic understanding of how change happens, offering both analysis and a sense of community. The discussions are insightful, immediate, and always grounded in the lived realities of the guests, making complex political topics both accessible and personally relevant.
