Tanisha Taitt Thought #2 - Liberal vs Progressive

This is Tanisha Taitt and Thought #2. An acquaintance said to me the other day "Well obviously you're a liberal", and although I have no problem being thought of as a liberal, I don't think of myself that way. I tend to consider myself a progressive, and that's because the word 'progressive' indicates motion and movement in a way that the word 'liberal' doesn't quite. I am so passionate and committed to the idea of moving us forward -- forward in our thinking, forward in our ability to connect and communicate -- that 'progressive' resonates with me so much more.
