    Episode 6: Ayanna Pressley: Joy, Power & Community

    On this episode of the Jubilee MV Podcast, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley—one of the nation’s most courageous and visionary voices—joins our sonic front porch in Oak Bluffs. As a trailblazing leader in Congress, she reflects on how her journey has been shaped by movements, mentors, and the women who have walked beside her, and how she continues to use her platform to amplify justice, dignity, and belonging. With candor and care, Ayanna shares the healing power of sisterhood, the resilience found in gathering, and the necessity of creating spaces where we can fully enjoy our humanity. Together, we explore how joy becomes a discipline, how community shapes leadership, and how collective power can transform both policy and daily life. She shares her highly personal practices of resilience and the antidote to a tsunami of negativity. This intimate porch talk affirms what Ayanna’s leadership shows us every day: that when we gather in community and lift as we climb, we move closer to a future rooted in justice, love, and joy.
