Let Black Women Lead

Did you know that less than 10 percent of the U.S. Congress are women of color? There are only 30 Black women in Congress. Black women have the stereotype of being “strong”, but remain critically underrepresented in leadership. How do we all work to make this right?


For our last episode of season 2, producer Jeanette Harris Courts will sit down with NOW’s National President Christian F. Nunes. Christian reflects on her experiences as a Black woman in leadership, how the Equal Rights Amendment is particularly critical for women of color, and why feminism requires a commitment to social justice.
