Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Pushkin. Hi, I'm Anita Hill. You probably know me or
think you do. Years ago, I was a young lawyer
working in DC. I was hoping to make a difference
to make my family back in Oklahoma proud. But everything

(00:35):
changed in nineteen ninety one when I testified at a
Supreme Court confirmation hearing. I became a public figure overnight,
and I was vilified. After the hearing, I was at
a crossroads. Would I remain in the public eye or retreat.

(00:55):
Would I be an educator or a crusader. In the end,
I didn't have to choose. These days, I teach social
policy in law, I authored books and articles, and educate
on issues of race and gender. But there are still
so many questions that keep me up at night, like

(01:18):
how do we solve systemic cultural problems and hold each
other accountable for creating positive change. In my new podcast,
Getting Even, I'm going to answer these questions by seeking
and sharing stories of who we are and who we
can be lessons from the law and from the human experience.

(01:43):
I've learned firsthand about our country shortcomings, and despite it all,
I still believe that we can solve society's biggest problems.
