Black Votes Matter with Khalilah Burt Gaston & Yusef Shakur

Donna and Orlando welcome Khalilah Burt Gaston, CEO of Glide Path Strategies and Yusef Shakur to talk about the intersectionality of Black men and women in the election, the role of Black people in partisan politics and the narrative framing of the relationship Black men have with Donald Trump.
This episode was a tough one to finish because during the recording, news broke that the Wayne Board of Canvassers were deadlocked on certifying the election results in the county which is home to the city of Detroit (America's largest majority Black city), citing unsubstantiated instances of fraud among other things. This revelation rocked Donna and Orlando.
After the recording, the Board of Canvassers took the measure up again and voted to certify the election results after more than 2 dozen people scolded them during the public comment section of the meeting.
