In this bonus episode, Kenya & Jay discuss how Black women showed up and showed out, voting overwhelmingly to bring Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to victory in this fraught Presidential election. They highlight political heavyweights who did the work to flip Red states Blue: Stacey Abrams (of Fair Count/Fight) and LaTosha Brown (of Black Voters Matter). They dissect the controversy surrounding Latina actress and activist Eva Longoria's perceived anti-Black comments and whether or not her many apologies were successful. Plus, later in the show, they big up the newest member of Congress’ progressive 'Squad', Representative-elect Cori Bush, and all the newly elected Black, Brown, Native and LGBTQI Representatives we have gained to represent us in government! They ask: does this backlash against the dangerous extremism of the Trump administration, and seeming push towards more progressive politics and an inclusive government give you hope?
