Breaking Through with Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner (Powered by MomsRising)
On the radio show this week we cover the intersection of art, culture, representation and politics with Jessica Byrd, a woman who was named the January Woman to Watch by Essence Magazine, “12 New Faces of Black Leadership” by Time Magazine, and Rolling Stone named her one of the most influential millennials shaping the 2016 election. We also cover the latest in reproductive justice with Planned Parenthood and hear from a leader in Florida about the next steps in preventing gun violence. Last but not least, we cover unequal pay, including Asian American Pacific Islander women’s equal pay day, and how we can move our nation forward.
