E23 Mediocre Chapter Six -  Socialists and Quota Queens: When Women of Color Challenge the Political Status Quo

Oh man, we hit one issue after another during this recording! Like the champs we are, we’ve managed to redeem our conversation and feel it’s worth it for you to give it a listen.  We didn't make it out of our music choices for the week before the conversation started touching on more vulnerable topics about alcohol, addiction, and suicide. The world is a hard place folks, let’s try to be gentle with each other.  Then we get to the book. 

Chapter six in Ijeoma Oluo’s timely book, Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America, is a needed spotlight on just how terribly our society will regularly treat women of color in politics. Or anywhere else, for that matter.

Also, apologies for not having our songs added to this episode.  There’s so much happening behind the scenes for us and time is just not always there for all the bells and whistles.  But, that’s just a good reason for you to go check out our Spotify playlists.
