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 women in politics, to support others breaking into the political sphere, and to celebrate incredible people changing the course of the country. A’shanti founded the blog and Wonder Media Network is thrilled to extend her platform to audio.

| 0:00.0 | Hey y'all. I'm Ashanti Golar, host of the Brown Girls Guide to Politics. |
| 0:05.1 | The BGG is the one-stop shop for women of color who want to talk and shape the world of politics. |
| 0:12.9 | This season, we're getting deep into the details of Project 2025. |
| 0:18.7 | In 900-plus pages, it's proposing dramatic conservative changes to education, |
| 0:24.3 | health care, and foreign affairs. But underpinning it all is an entirely new vision for how |
| 0:31.1 | the government operates, and that could change everything. Thank you so much to our friends |
| 0:37.2 | at Way to Win for supporting us |

| 1:45.7 | expect as women of color in 2020 that was hosted at George Washington University and sponsored by |
| 1:51.7 | Act Blue. I hope you enjoy this episode. So I always like to start with how everyone introduce |
| 1:59.7 | themselves, but of course I also have to ask everyone a question along with that. |
| 2:03.9 | So can you tell everyone your name, where you work, what you do, and what has been one of your favorite moments from this election cycle so far? |
| 2:13.9 | I know there's so many to choose from because even though it's only January, this thing |
