The following is still a pandemic recording presented to you in a round sound.

It was recorded with whatever was lying around.

A lady don't take no shit and sis. Don't respect the sister.

Walk around like a woman if she won't speak less is something worse saying don't play the girl

take herself so seriously people stare curious though she got a natural way her hips swayed

furious like the luxurious carries herself like the cutest most prettiest thing you see this side of the bay

hey this is lady Don't Take No.

Your weekly roundup of all of the real and none of the fake.

I'm your host, Alicia Garza.

This show is pro-black, pro-queer, proudly feminist and pro-do what you like.

Every week, you're going to get the best of what goes on in my head

and what we loving on and what we hatein on, what we might be and what we ain't going to do.

Politics, pop culture, presidential assassinations, we cover it all. We are recording from

Oakland, California, the center of the known universe, where we are dealing

with Rona and Reconstruction. It's a challenging time. It's a changing time. It's a time of

transformation. It's all the things all the time nowadays, but we're going to help you understand

the dynamics of this time every single week. So be sure to tune in, tell a friend, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

We do it for the culture, so the pod is free 99, because we know that with a country and chaos,

the least we could do is keep you from putting your money anywhere else than where it's needed.

I just never think I know your stuff. I know there's something I ain't been. Go wrong. anywhere else than where it's needed.

Our guest this is a senator from Massachusetts, whose life's work fighting for big structural change to transform the economy and rebuild the middle class are just a couple of the countless reasons why my organization, the Black to the Future Action Fund, endorsed her in last year's presidential primaries.

She's also a best-selling author, and her latest book, Persist, is a must, must, must read.
