Hi John,
Heads up -- the newest Run for Something (the podcast) episode is hitting podcatchers as we speak!
In this week's episode, we turn our attention to the Miramar City Council in south Florida -- right outside of Miami -- to talk with
candidate for City Council Kerri-Ann Nesbeth.
Kerri-Ann shares why she ran, what a day in the life looks like for her as she balances her full-time job with her full-time campaign, the racism and sexism she's encountered as a Black woman breaking into local politics -- and why she thinks winning power for her community makes it all worthwhile.
But first, a short rant about the infrequently addressed gerontocracy problem we have in government. (Sorry if it makes you mad!)
Don't know what that term means? Grab your headphones and tune into this week's episode on the podcatcher of your choice:
