Hello everyone! So we've all heard of the great resignation with everyone resigning from corporate girly status but turns out government leaders and employees are doing the same. Now there may be a scandal or two, or maybe even several, BUT politicians and government employees are resigning in the month of July. Not only has the UK seen Boris Johnson speak on his soon-to-be resignation, but Sri Lanka's President Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Wickremesinghe have also signaled that they will be resigning in the near future. Three powerful politicians in one week? Oh, wait there's more? How about the 300+ Virginia government employees that have resigned? And to think the month of July isn't even halfway over. Check out this episode to hear all about scandals and floundering policy to learn why these politicians and government employees are on their way out of office. Thank you all so much for tuning in Hot Girls and we will see you all next week for another episode of your Hot Girl Briefing!

That's okay if you didn't because we are here to talk about it from its birth to just this last month's summit! Check in with us as we spill the tea on why the President of Mexico said that he would not be in attendance and why the Biden administration had to commit a party faux pas and call certain guests to make sure they would even be RSVPing. Turns out the Western hemisphere and specifically, Latin America has some disdain over the US-hosted summit this time around.
