On today’s show we will learn about an amazing group of youth activists in Montgomery County Maryland and what they are doing to create change! 

Our guest today is Anika Manzoor, the Youth Activism Project’s first-ever Executive Director. She was introduced to activism when she “accidentally” co-founded School Girls Unite at the age of 12. Through Youth Activism Project, Anika discovered the power of her own voice and consequently, her own passion for youth empowerment. Anika is a graduate of Grinnell College and Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

On today’s show, we will focus on something that most of us probably never think about but has a big impact on our daily lives—the federal budget.  

As of September 2nd, the federal government had spent about $6.6 trillion, taken in revenue around $3.3 trillion, leaving a deficit of around $3.3 trillion. 

These numbers are mind-boggling and the federal budget process is very complex. 

Here to help us learn how the federal budget process works, how to influence it, and what it means for Black, Indigenous and other women of color, is Mike Veselik.

On today’s show we will focus on how women of color (Black, Latinx, Asian-Pacific Islander, and American Indian-Native American) can practice radical self-care.

Our guest today is Nacole Brown, President and CEO of Ncredible Lady. Ncredible Lady is social media platform that offers spiritual and uplifting information to help users process current events.
