YBF POLITICS: Special Guest U.S. Senate Candidate Jaime Harrison

Get your coins and your Twitter fingers ready.  We've got a political rising star you need to know who's on the brink of flipping a staunchly conservative Senate seat Blue. 

Are you losing your ish about the blatant injustices going unchecked and being promoted by certain people in power?  Is yes, almost every issue you have - from police injustice to socioeconomic disparities to racial disparities to federal policies rooted in misogyny and systemic racism - can be traced back to Sen. Lindsey Graham, who actively creates legislation to hold back anyone who is not a straight white man.  Now, the people have an alternative candidate to get him outta here.

Meet White House intern turned first black Chair of the South Carolina Democratic Party, Yale grad, husband to law professor Marie, and father, Jamie Harrison.  Oh, and Marvel comics lover (which is actually woke as well). The South Carolina native entered the race knowing it would be an uphill battle to defeat a 2-term incumbent who has an odd lock on the white supremacy-loving American crowd.  But things are changing, even in the deep south.

Now, after showing and proving he's ALREADY got plans AND organizations in place that address many of the issues most of us (especially black women) have with the current status quo, Jaime's almost neck and neck with his opponent. This is BIG.

Jaime and Natasha talk about everything political, personal and integral to actually making America great, especially for those of us who built this place. Being mad isn't where we stop, it's where we start. So listen to Jaime break down why voting IS the way to actually affect the change you want to see. The other side knows this and uses it to their advantage.  It's time we, the marginalized yet fabulously powerful (and they know it), do the same.

Listen now!

Jamie is officially the Democratic candidate for Senate in South Carolina, and he's on the ballot this November.
