“I decided to attend to Howard University in DC because I thought, and still believe, that it’s the Mecca of Black education." - Stefanie
In this episode, Judithe is joined by Stefanie Brown James, Co-Founder of The Collective PAC, to discuss the fostering and reinforcement of Black political power in the United States. From her education at Brown, to her time with the NAACP, to her current role with The Collective, there are few people better positioned to have this discussion.
Judithe and Stefanie talk about the issues of overcoming a political system in which 90% of elected officials are white males, and 95% of prosecutors are white males. Sometimes the biggest hurdle to Black candidacy isn’t money or interest, but the fact that we don’t see ourselves as the "kind of people" who get elected.
With the activism and energy that the Trump administration has created, this is a moment too good to pass up. Join us and The Collective PAC in action that can help move every citizen’s struggle for justice and equality forward.
"People want to see change actually happen. They don’t want to hear it talked about, they want to see it happen." - Stefanie
