Learning As We Go with Ai-jen and Alicia
05/18/21 • 31 min
There’s some light at the end of the pandemic tunnel (go get those shots if you can, fam) and 2020 elections are done. So, what now? What have we learned, and what do we still need to figure out? Ai-jen and Alicia reflect on the way we came together when everything fell apart, and how America has finally acknowledged that caregiving is essential infrastructure. As conversations and perspectives expand, we’re getting ready to make change that goes beyond the White House and reaches deep into our own communities. Plus: Why creativity always beats cynicism.

Being the First of Many with Errin Haines
Journalist Errin Haines (The 19th*, MSNBC) has been busy covering the 2020 election, frontline workers’ stories, the pandemic’s disproportionate impact on caregivers, and police violence—it was her reporting that made Breonna Taylor’s murder national news. She explains why she’s unlearned the idea that we have to figure everything out on our own, how seeing the impact of care on the entire economy has brought stark disparities to light, and why Kamala Harris is not a unicorn. Errin also shares what it was like growing up in the Black church in Atlanta—where “you breathe in Martin Luther King, Jr.”—and how faith drives her work. Plus: Rage-watching Peppa Pig as a form of self-care.
