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.

| 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 |
| 0:31.1 | the government operates, and that could change everything. Thank you so much to our friends |

| 1:48.0 | Of course. I'm so excited for everyone to hear from my plus one from the She the People list and learn why I just had to choose you. First question is, when did your love of politics begin? I believe my love of politics began |
| 2:04.7 | when I saw that being in a position of power is a way to make real change. And so I would just |
