#81 - More AANHPI Women in Politics Please!
Manage episode 329194617 series 2847785
The numbers are paltry when it comes to AANHPI representation in politics on every level. According to recent data, AANHPI are the most underrepresented in politics at less than 1%. When it comes to Asian women, the number is even smaller. Meanwhile, Congress is still 74% white and 73% male. Wow! All the more reason to help shape and train potential AANHPI women to run for office and that's exactly what New American Leaders and its Women Rising program is trying to do. In this episode, May speaks with Sara Le Brusq, NAL COO, about how they are preparing women to enter the, often, brutal world of public service as well as talking with Tongan American trainee, Celina Tupou-Fulivai, who wants to serve because she's tired of the invisibilization of AANHPIs like herself. One person, one voice CAN make a difference, but it also takes organizational and community support.
