The Future is Full of Second Chances

The Future is Full of Second Chances

Our podcast specifically focuses on women of color who have recently run for office. Our belief is that we need to amplify the stories of women who did not get the outcome they wanted when they ran for office in 2020, but are still working to serve their communities into 2021 and beyond.
