Black Women & Democracy ft. Vanessa Williams & LaTosha Brown (Black Voters Matter)

In POTUS, Margaret (1 of the 7 women trying to keep a great dumbass alive) is the first lady desperately trying to reframe her public image while all of her great services to society, her role in the president’s successes, and her accolades go ignored. Sound familiar? In conversation with Vanessa Williams (the actress who plays Margaret) and LaTosha Brown (Co-Founder of Black Voters Matter), we’ll get real about the role that Black women have continuously played in uplifting and protecting our democratic rights. We’ll also talk through how we can move beyond praise and into tangible support of Black women’s political power- using the events of POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive as a launching point.
