Summary
The Brown Girls Guide to Politics Podcast is all about amplifying the voices of women who are too often forgotten in most media coverage. This year was a record year for women of color running for -- and being elected to -- office. In the BGG to Politics blog, A’shanti Gholar 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. Gholar founded the blog last year and Wonder Media Network is thrilled to extend her platform to audio.
The Brown Girls Guide is produced by Jenny Kaplan and Andi Kristins, with assistance from Tori Taylor. Original music was composed by Elisheba Ittoop.
