À propos de cet audio

In this conversation, Glynda Carr—co-founder, president, and CEO of Higher Heights—joins Dr. David J. Johns to discuss Black women's unwavering commitment to democracy, even as their political power faces unprecedented attacks. From the Brooklyn café where Higher Heights was born to the dungeons of Ghana where ancestors dreamed of freedom, Glynda traces the through-line of Black women's political organizing across generations.

Glynda breaks down why Black women voters feel their power decreasing despite being democracy's most reliable defenders, how to navigate the current assault on election integrity, and what it means to "run toward your power" when authoritarianism is rising. She shares the "Kamala Effect," discusses the importance of creating political budgets, and issues a rallying cry: we are the ones we've been waiting for—our ancestors could see us, and we must build the yellow brick road to the possibilities they dreamed of.

This episode is essential listening for anyone committed to defending democracy, understanding Black women's political power, and building the multiracial, multigenerational coalition necessary for this moment.
