Dr. Gabriela Lemus & Mayra Macías: “I know who I am and what I stand for.”
Welcome to The Brown Girls Guide to Politics -- the one-stop shop for women of color who want to hear and talk about the world of politics. In this episode, Host A’shanti Gholar talks to Dr. Gabriela Lemus, BGG Guide to Politics blog contributor and President of Mi Familia Vota, and Mayra Macías, Executive Director of Latino Victory. Gabriela talks about navigating misogyny and racism, not sacrificing your values, and pushing forward progressive change. Mayra talks about how Latinas are driving a surge in voter turnout in local races, the progress we’ve made, and the work that lies ahead.

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 women in politics, to support others breaking into the political sphere, and to celebrate incredible people changing the course of the country. A’shanti founded the blog and Wonder Media Network is thrilled to extend her platform to audio.
