Lauren Underwood on the Truth About Black Women, Power & the Democratic Party

Episode Notes

This week on Nola Haynes Is Not A Spy, Congresswoman Lauren Underwood gets real about power, pressure, and what’s actually happening inside the Democratic Party. From the “92%” conversation to growing frustration among Black women voters, this episode dives into the question no one wants to answer: If Black women are the backbone of the party… why do so many feel overlooked?

They break down:

• The Momnibus bill and the fight to end preventable Black maternal deaths
• What it actually looks like to govern during chaos and constant criticism
• Why now is the moment to organize politically and not sit out
• And how Black women can leverage their power instead of giving it away

Plus: a surprisingly deep (and hilarious) debate on Beyoncé’s Act III : gospel, rap, or something else entirely?
