Manage episode 407332859 series 3561455
In this week's episode of Alvina Talks Shift, host Alvina Vasquez sits down with Bianka Emerson to discuss the systemic challenges that women of color face in the United States. The conversation addresses the phenomenon of "black girl magic," recognizing the resilience and cultural impact of black women in society while not overlooking the issues they contend with, such as the scrutiny faced by figures like Kamala Harris and Dr. Claudine Gay.
Bianka also shares about her recent trip to Senegal, which was both an educational and emotional look into the past. The discussion continues to the work Bianka does from the Justice for Black Coloradans bill, related to racial inequities, to her advocacy for reproductive rights through Initiative 89.
