Are You Likable? with Alicia Menendez
Political media has the power to shape the narrative of a race before anyone has cast a ballot. All of the decisions - who gets covered and how they get covered - are made by an overwhelmingly and disturbingly non-diverse group of media gatekeepers. In this episode, Maya and TV host and author Alicia Menendez discuss ‘The Likeability Trap’ and how the media shapes our political discourse around women of color.

But Can You Win? with Mayor Tishaura Jones
When you kick off a campaign, one of the first things people ask is, “Are you a viable candidate?” but what they're really asking is, do you have a real shot at winning?

In this episode, Maya talks to St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones about trusting your intuition, alternative campaign strategies, and how to break through the viability barrier.
