Can America handle its first female President of color? The unexpected exit of Joe Biden from the presidential race has catapulted Kamala Harris into the spotlight as the presumptive Democratic nominee, and we’re here to unpack this seismic political shift. On this episode of Humanize, we confront the narrative and challenges Harris is bound to face, particularly around race and gender. We dissect the fear-based tactics that often cloud critical issues and discuss the hopes that Harris will tackle pressing concerns like women's reproductive rights and broader social justice issues. This moment is especially significant as it's the first time since 1976 that no Bush, Clinton, or Biden will be on the presidential ticket.
