Motherhood Is Political, Too ft. Liuba Grechen Shirley, Lisa Helmi Johanson, & Francoise Olivas

In POTUS, Chris (1 of the 7 women trying to keep a great dumbass alive) is a white house journalist eagerly trying to gather the facts around the president’s scandal, all while balancing the demands of motherhood. In conversation with Lisa Helmi Johanson (an actress who plays Chris), Liuba Grechen Shirley (Founder and CEO of Vote Mama), and Françoise Olivas (NYS Senate Candidate),  we’ll traverse what it means to be a mother and/or a caregiver running for office, the policies/issues they are uniquely fit to address, and why we need more moms and caregivers in the white house - using the events of POTUS: Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying To Keep Him Alive as a launching point. Feed your ongoing curiosities about POTUS on Broadway: potus.moretotalkabout.comPlease note: All of these POTUS conversations deeply impact a range of gender and sexual identities.  This includes cis women, trans women, trans men, non-binary people, and a range of LGBTQIA+ identities who are marginalized.
