SNT gets politically maternal with Senator Erica D. Smith. These two “Senator Moms” discuss the gravity of what it means to care deeply about issues like maternal health quality, climate change, neglected rural communities and the infrastructure bill – all in relation to uplifting the quality of life that will be left for all of our children. Recorded on September 22nd, they also touch on systemic racism, the importance of owning land and the very special story of Erica’s great-grandfather, Pop Buster.
