COVID has laid bare the inequities of the healthcare system in this country-- today, we’re talking about vaccination rates, what to do after you’re vaxxed, and how to make sure we’re taking care of ourselves in a world where COVID still exists. And just to be clear: at The BGG, we are pro-vaxx.

The Brown Girls Guide to Politics Podcast is all about amplifying the voices of women who are too often forgotten in media coverage. Host A’shanti Gholar leads conversations with women changing the face of politics. In the BGG to Politics blog, A’shanti created a space for women of color to learn about the current state of politics, to support others breaking into the political sphere, and to celebrate incredible women changing the course of the country. A’shanti founded the blog in 2018 and Wonder Media Network is thrilled to extend her platform to audio.
