Hey y'all it's Brittany. Undistracted is on break but I had to pop in here to tell y'all

about an exciting new podcast that our producers are making. It's called because of Anita.

And it goes deep on Anita Hill's courageous testimony

in the hearings to confirm Supreme Court Justice

Clarence Thomas back in 1991. It's been exactly 30 years since those

hearings but we are all still feeling those ripple effects across politics

workplaces, the media, gender, and race.

like Fatima Goss Graves, Tarana Burke,

and Professor Kimberly Krenshaw.
