We want to hear from you! Send us a textImmigration enforcement, primary election shakeups, and the road to the midterms — in this episode of Black Girls Do Politics, we break down the headlines shaping the political moment. From the firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and renewed debates around ICE enforcement to the recent primaries that brought national attention to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s race, we unpack what these developments mean for Black communities and the political landscape heading into the fall. Joined by regular guest host Summer Nettles and Republican Georgia State Superintendent candidate Mesha Mainor, we talk about voter turnout, the growing number of Black women stepping forward to run for office, and how local races can shape national conversations. Because primaries decide power long before November — and staying informed is the first step to staying engaged. Black Girls Do Politics, y’all!
