    "I AM the angry Black woman until we're free." TRUE WORDS. We have reason to be angry.

    Funny she mentions Kamala Harris as a prosecutor at that time... She's now the Vice President of the United States. Great discussion ✊🏾

    Message to hosts, you must learn how to let people tell their story. Ms Brown understood the need to take the listeners through a chronological account before she jumped into her 3 years of leadership.
