Summary

We missed y'all last week! And this week is a bit of a different show. We've talked before on the show about the amazing organization Higher Heights. They're a 501(c)(3) that is building a national civic engagement infrastructure and network to strengthen Black women’s leadership capacity. This week we're talking to one of the founders of Higher Heights, Glynda C Carr. In this interview we'll learn: (6:10) How Black women have been the architects of our democracy (8:45) Just how big a deal is it that we have Kamala Harris as our Vice President now? (19:12) What's at stake for us if we don't get more involved at the local levels? (21:15) If you want to get more involved but don't necessarily want to run for office, how do you do that? (33:28) Now that we're past the general election, how do we keep this current energy going? And more! This was an amazing conversation and we're so excited to share it with you! See you all next week! https://www.higherheightsleadershipfund.org/ https://www.higherheightsforamericapac.org/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:46.3	Hey Bafam, it's Mandy. I'm here with a pretty special and unusual show for you guys this week.
0:52.6	It almost wasn't any show at all. For those of you all who listened to our and joined our
0:57.6	Instagram live, the Tiffany and I did last week. Thank you so much. We're sorry we weren't able to
1:02.7	post the video for y'all. Apparently something happened with Instagram and Tiffany couldn't save it.
1:08.3	Mayacolpa. But on the live, we said that we have a bit of a surprise and it's because of that
1:13.5	surprise that we're not able to record a new show last week. So you might have noticed there was no
1:18.4	episode. We're very sorry, but it's for a really, really good reason. A reason that I can't quite

1:54.9	So I'm talking about mayor races, gubernatorial races, and beyond. Kamala Harris, yep. That is
2:01.9	someone that higher Heights has championed and endorsed and helped support. And they are not
