The world breaks everyone

In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette and Stephen interview Emmy and Peabody Award-winning journalist and visionary founder of TransLash Media, Imara Jones. We talk about growing up Black and bougee in Atlanta, working in the Clinton Administration, and traveling the globe as a journalist, storyteller and activist. In Today’s Topics, we discuss Planned Parenthood in AZ resuming services, Alabama Republicans requiring the Ten Commandments in public schools, a Georgia teacher dismissed for supporting LGBTQ students, and the Department of Health and Human Services recognizing gender dysphoria as a disability under federal law. In Allies & Assholes, we celebrate Texas Representative Lauren Ashley Simmons for standing up for intersex kids, and drag Bill Maher for jockriding Trump.
