Two Broads Talking Politics Podcast

11/20/2021

Well friends, all things must come to an end(ish). Sophy & Kelly are planning one more episode of TBTP (our 538th!), and then we're going on hiatus.

When(?) we return it will likely be live video-streaming and not a regular audio podcast.

We need a break from the grind of politics podcasting to get our heads on straight before the 2022 cycle. If you need a break too, now is the time to take it because elections don't get any easier, and it's going to take all of us.

Thank you all for your incredible support over the past 4+ years.

In the meantime, we're taking suggestions for what to do for EPISODE 538: THE FINALE (FOR NOW).

Rebecca, Sophy and Kelly come together for this special edition of the podcast to discuss what’s next for women activists, candidates, and electeds as we are now just one year out from the 2022 elections when so much will be at stake. They will be sharing their lessons learned/conclusions reached from the vantage point of over 75 episodes of the podcast, taking into account both the positive (so many women of so many different kinds were elected in November 2021) and the negative (the likely anti-choice actions of the US Supreme Court in the coming month). And they will also take a look forward with high hopes for the amazing work tens of thousands of women will do in 2022 and subsequent years. In that context, they will preview Rebecca’s new book, Make Herstory Your Story: Your Guided Journal to Justice Every Day for Every Woman, now available for presale; another tool for women activists changing the world for the better.

For those who may not know about the book, here is a summary of it:
Make Herstory Your Story is a guided journal and workbook for women advocates to find and raise the volume on their own voices, and formulate a plan for change. It includes more than 45 inspirational graphics and writing prompts that will move readers to journal their dreams into reality. It aims to create the life every woman and girl deserves with practical advice for building projects, organizations — even movements. Make Herstory Your Story is for every woman who dreams of making the world a better place and is committed to doing the work to get that done. Importantly, Make Herstory Your Story reminds us that every woman -- not just the rich, powerful or famous -- can have a positive impact on her community, changing the world for all. Make Herstory Your Story champions the quiet but powerful voice in each of us that wants to be heard.

Special edition of , a collaboration of Two Broads Talking Politics & author Rebecca Sive

With Illinois Deputy Gov Sol A. Flores and strategist Alex Sims.

Sol Flores serves as deputy governor in Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s administration overseeing Health and Human Services since February 2019. As Deputy Governor, she helped oversee the administration’s response to COVID-19, including housing relief and vaccination efforts. Additionally, Flores spearheads the administration’s efforts around poverty alleviation, hunger relief, expanding healthcare access to all, and strengthening the state’s safety nets for its most vulnerable residents. She was the founding executive director of La Casa Norte, a non-profit organization established in 2002 that has served more than 30,000 youth and families confronting homelessness. Flores built La Casa Norte from two employees to a multi-million-dollar organization delivering inspiration, hope, and critical services. She is a tireless advocate, having served on numerous working groups, commissions, and nonprofit boards. Flores was raised by a single mother who came to Chicago from Puerto Rico, who was recognized as a national Champion of Change by President Barack Obama.

Alexandra (Alex) P. Sims believes that one's birthplace and economic status should negatively affect one's life journey, and her career has taught her that real change is brought about when there is synergy, empathy, and aligned purposes among all public affairs sectors: business, government, philanthropy, and grassroots organizing. Alex came to Chicago from metro Detroit to attend Northwestern University. Awarded the prestigious CORO Fellowship, Alex was assigned by the CORO program to serve in the St. Louis, Missouri area. Motivated by President Barack Obama’s education and social policies, Alex was appointed to head his 2012 Presidential campaign for the St. Louis region. Following Obama’s victory, Alex continued as a State Coordinator with Organizing for Action (OFA), relocating to Chicago. It was in Chicago there that she founded Every Vote Counts, where she directed the registration of over 120,000 voters in 4 four months - the largest voter registration campaign in the country that year. While Senior Advisor to the City of Chicago Treasurer, she launched an aggressive and strategic agenda of financial equity and access. Now, founder and CEO of APS and Associates, she counsels numerous clients, including The Obama Foundation and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker.

Both Sol and Alex are graduates of the women in public leadership initiative created by Rebecca Sive for the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy.
