49: Politics & Black Women (Guest: Jennifer Blemur)

Send us Fan MailToday, we want to discuss how in recent years more black women are finally receiving their shine for their tremendous contributions to the American political scene. With our special guest Jennifer Blemur, we talk about politics, the role of black women and the impact of both. Committed to advancing public welfare, Jennifer Blemur is the State Caucus Network Director for Millennial Action Project. Her goal in working in state policy is to ensure that elected officials not only know what's happening in their communities but are equipped with sensible legislative solutions. Collaborating with elected officials to create transformative change is core to Jennifer's belief that government can effectively meet the needs of its people. Jennifer previously served as the Director of the Women Legislators’ Lobby (WiLL), a program of Women’s Action for New Directions (WAND). Her work in state policy began with the National Black Caucus of State Legislators where she worked as Policy Associate and Legal Counsel writing policy articles and toolkits for legislators.
