The Brown Girls Guide to Politics

Bonus: From Getting Even with Anita Hill: Reimagining 1991

Episode Summary

I'm sharing a special preview of the new podcast, Getting Even with Anita Hill, from Pushkin Industries. The American icon talks with trailblazers like Kimberlé Crenshaw, Misty Copeland, and Nikole Hannah-Jones who have taken risks to make our society more equal. You’ll hear stories from their lives and their work, and amazing lessons about looking outside the lines, breaking the “rules,” and forging our own paths to equality. In this preview, Anita talks about the 1991 Supreme Court hearing with Sukari Hardnett, who submitted a written statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, telling them about the sexual harassment she witnessed working with Clarence Thomas. Sukari was never called to testify and Anita asks how the conversation may have gone differently had the Senate taken their testimonies seriously.

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.
