Ep 128: Vice President Kamala Harris, Black Women and Leading with Charisse Jones, USA Today

January 20, 2021

Our 2021 premiere episode is a special Inauguration Day edition which will actually begin streaming today, into tomorrow when the show typically airs, each Thursday.

I had the honor of discussing my sorority sister, Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris' historic new role as the second most powerful person in the United States--only a heartbeat from the Presidency.

I'll be speaking to Charisse Jones, workplace writer at USA TODAY about the implications this historic ascension to a heartbeat away from the Presidency has for Black women and other women of color in positions of power across the corporate spectrum and beyond.

Charisse is a new friend and fellow National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) member. She penned an article just after the election about this very topic, and it encouraged me to reach out and talk to her about it because I cover off on the core theme of her story in No Thanks: 7 Ways to Say I'll Just Include Myself.
