It’s day 2 at the DNC y’all!! And hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum welcome an incredible array of guests onto the Native Land stage — and they’re looking good!

It all starts with LaTosha Brown — political strategist, visionary, and co-founder of the voting rights group Black Voters Matter — and the importance of building Black political power. And that theme is echoed and supported at every turn, with guests from Elsie Cooke-Homes of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, to the founder of Win With Black Women Jotaka Eaddy and Executive Director of BlackPac Adrianne Shropshire.

And if those talented women weren’t inspiring enough, prepare yourself because the group chat is coming to you live from the NLP stage! Angela and Tiffany’s Machete crew, including Brittany Packnett Cunningham, Errin Haines and Cari Champion, talk about the work that Black women do — and have always done — to get us to this historic moment.

Andrew’s here, too! Not just listening but also geeking out the legislative power of the House, with special guest, and the future Speaker of the House, (we speak things into existence!) Congressman Hakeem Jeffries. And don’t miss out on political powerhouses Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Representative Ted James, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Gregory Meeks, Mayor Melvin Carter, Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist, and Terrance Woodburry.

There’s so much going on and still so much to come — make sure to tune in the rest of the week!
