Summary
The Brown Girls Guide to Politics Podcast is all about amplifying the voices of women who are too often forgotten in media coverage. Host A’shanti Gholar leads conversations with women changing the face of politics. In the BGG to Politics blog, A’shanti created a space for women of color to learn about the current state of politics, to support others breaking into the political sphere, and to celebrate incredible women changing the course of the country. A’shanti founded the blog in 2018 and Wonder Media Network is thrilled to extend her platform to audio.

| 1:47.0 | It's a very big moment. I've been excited ever since Vice President Biden committed to having a woman on the ticket. It's 2020. |
| 1:54.5 | So that would mean we would only have seen four women on a major presidential ticket. |
| 2:03.2 | And in a year where we're celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment |
