voteHERS

A diverse group of young women living in Nashville, Tennessee - Savannah Grimm, Torri Yates-Orr, Liz Eskridge, LaTesa Lins and Kati Crosslin - decided that 'a seat at the table' is simply not enough. Politics has been a 'taboo' subject for far too long. If we want to create real and lasting change, it's time we fight back against the narrative that politics isn't for people like 'us.' voteHERS aims to educate listeners about our country's current political systems, and to provide a safe place to have substantive conversations about the world around us. Education and Growth > Cancel Culture.

I Mean, Meghan McCain Blocked Me on Twitter

September 9, 2020 • 46 mins
Between big ol' bags of soup and a heated debate about boneless chicken wings, the girls had quite a few laughs last week; but the conversation took a more serious tone as they considered having a conservative woman sit in as a guest. As the country navigates this new civil rights movement, people are constantly being told to participate in "difficult conversations" -- but what would that look like in practice, on this podcast? Spo...

I Think It Might Have Been The Ancestors

August 31, 2020 • 45 mins
From the Republican National Convention [which featured lots of yelling] to the brutal police shooting of Jacob Blake and the ensuing protests, last week gave the girls quite a bit to talk about.

While videos that clearly show police violence towards Black people have been instrumental in sparking conversation around systemic racism and the need for change, is it okay to share them? Do they hurt more than they help?

'Red Flag with Legs' Is My Type

August 22, 2020 • 73 mins
Kati felt uncomfortable for a couple of reasons this week; one being the "red flag with legs" she went on a date with, and the other the centennial anniversary of women getting the right to vote.

Additionally, the girls acknowledge how exhausting it can be to live in a world where bad news and cynicism are the norm. Thankfully, Michelle & Barack Obama came through with some rousing pep talks at the [virtual] DNC.

I Appreciate Y'all Not Judging Me For This

August 11, 2020 • 76 mins
Coronavirus has made getting studio time difficult, so this episode sounds a little different -- like we're in a bathroom, honestly. Maybe grab some wine and jump into a hot bubble bath before you listen to fully embrace the vibe. We promise everything will be back to normal soon.

Anyway, "East Nasty" has taken on a whole new meaning after a wild party at The Fashion House, where basically no one gave a damn about COVID-19.
