Summary
As we wrap up our season on Project 2025, A'shanti takes a global look at these policies. With Dr. Frances Colón, the Senior Director for International Climate Policy at the Center for American Progress, and Dr. Dorian Crosby, an Associate Professor of Political Science at Spelman College, A'shanti unpacks how Project 2025's proposals extend far beyond our borders, with implications for climate change, immigration, and a range of other issues.
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.
