Summary
This episode of The Brown Girls Guide to Politics is in partnership with Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Planned Parenthood is a health care provider, education and advocacy center delivering reproductive health care, sex education, and information to millions of people worldwide.
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.
