Customer Reviews
Focus group with Audie Cornish
This was the best, most nuanced conversation about the Kamala factor that I have heard! As a black woman, this captured all of my back and forth thinking from a pragmatic point of view. Well done!
Love sara!
Just wrote a great review, and erased it by mistake. So keeping this one short!
