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 women in politics, to support others breaking into the political sphere, and to celebrate incredible people changing the course of the country. A’shanti founded the blog and Wonder Media Network is thrilled to extend her platform to audio.

| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all. I'm Ashanti Golar, host of the Brown Girls Guide to Politics. |
| 0:05.1 | The BGG is the one-stop shop for women of color who want to talk and shape the world of politics. |
| 0:12.9 | This season, we're getting deep into the details of Project 2025. |
| 0:18.7 | In 900-plus pages, it's proposing dramatic conservative changes to education, |
| 0:24.3 | health care, and foreign affairs. But underpinning it all is an entirely new vision for how |

| 1:28.8 | Victory Fund. First, we'll hear from Dr. Gabriel Alamos, or Gabi, as I call her, as she is one of my mentors. |
| 1:36.2 | As the president of Mifamilovota, Gabby helps lead the organization's mission to build Latino |
| 1:40.6 | political power. They do this by expanding the electorate, strengthening local infrastructures, and through |
| 1:46.0 | year-round voter engagement. |
| 1:47.8 | They also train the next-generation of leaders by opening opportunities through their |
| 1:52.0 | youth development programs. |
| 1:55.1 | I really want to talk to you today first about the work that you are doing at Me Familia |
