Black Women Are a Bellwether to the Country's Anti-Democratic Trends: A Conversation with Leta McCollough Seletzky

Flux Podcasts (Formerly Theory of Change)

In this final episode of the season, I have a casual and meaningful conversation with a friend: essayist and National Endowment for the Arts Fellow, Leta McCollough Seletzky. Leta joins me to discuss the impact Black women had on this election, on Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, and we explore how the campaign affected us personally. We also discuss how the country's treatment of marginalized people, particularly Black women, is a bellwether for anti-democratic trends.

This episode was made possible with a grant from the MacArthur Foundation through URL Media.
