Welcome to the Stacks, a podcast about books and the people who read them.

I'm your host Tracy Thomas and today on the show we have Meena Harris.

She is the founder and CEO of the

Phenomenal Women's Action Campaign, which you may know from the gray

phenomenal women t-shirts. She's also the author of a brand new children's book

called Kamala and Maya's big idea based on true events

from the childhood of her mother and aunt Maya and Kamala Harris.

We talk today about diversifying books for kids, community organizing,

and we remind ourselves that we've got to make sure

that we're doing something, whether it be big or small.

You can find everything we discuss on today's episode

in the link in the show notes. Before we dive into today's episode, I just wanted to have a quick shout out to our supporters

over on Patreon, aka the Stax Pack.

Patreon is an easy way to help me make this show by committing to a small monthly contribution

and earning perks like our virtual book club. It's easy and it has an outsized

impact on my ability to make the stacks weekend and week out. So with that being said I just want to give a quick thank you to

Katie Loor, Sherry Maple, Sarah Hibbard, Alyssa Fisher, Meredith and Katie,

Danielle Closter, Megan Clark, Marissa Eisengart,

Nicky Brown, Stacy Chin, Michaela,

and Crystal Dunavond.

Okay, now let's talk with Nina Harris. All right you guys, I'm so excited.

I'm here with Meena Harris.
