Summary
This season is all about what’s happening on the ground at one of the most important political moments this country has faced. Every episode, host A’shanti Gholar will talk to a panel of BIPOC women and folks who are working to create a better future through community organization and government policy.
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.
