(Re)shaping The Story of Women of Color in Politics ft. Aimee Allison, Suzy Nakamura, & Maya Contreras
Description
In POTUS, Jean (1 of the 7 women trying to keep a great dumbass alive) is the president’s press secretary meaning she knows all about the power of shaping a story. In this talk, Andrea Ambam sits down with Suzy Nakamura (the actress who plays Jean), Aimee Allison (President of She The People), and Maya Contreras (Political Narrative Strategist and Former Democratic Congressional Candidate), to explore how reshaping the cultural narrative can support the on-the-ground effort for more women of color in politics - using the events of POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive as a launching point. Recorded on the day the draft Dobbs decision was leaked, this talk starts with how to organize around abortion rights.
