Helena Andrews-Dyer has BEEN slaying this writing game. She's the Senior Pop Culture reporter for The Washington Post and just released her second book (out today!) Reclaiming Her Time: The Power of Maxine Waters that she co-wrote with pop culture writer R. Eric Thomas.
Helena - who's also author of Bitch is the New Black - and Natasha chop it up about everything ambitious and successful YBF chicks are going through right now. Going through and still slaying, too. They talk about the inspiration behind giving or fave never scared Auntie Congresswoman Maxine Waters ALL her things while we can, marriage (Maxine's and Helena's), what Michelle Obama told Helena about how to have a successful marriage, Meg Thee Stallion, Cardi B., motherhood while being a BOSS and more. We've included some main points starting around the 30 min mark you need to hear:
What could Kamala Harris could learn from Maxine Waters from the book
How Maxine Waters bursts into meetings on Capitol Hill when men in power "accidentally" forget to invite her
What Auntie Maxine would tell Cardi B and Meg The Stallion about navigating the world
Auntie Maxine's love of hip-hop culture (and yes, she is a true Cali girl who loves her some Tupac).
Husbands who are super supportive and not intimidated still exist - Helena's and Maxine's husbands are examples
The best marital advice Helena received from Former First Lady Michelle Obama
