Politic'n, For Us By Us Politic'n, For Us By Us

Between the new maps in PA, the absurd petitioning cycles, and all of the races happening in the upcoming midterm elections we have so much to discuss. If you live in PA don't forget our upcoming primary is happening on May 17!

Nationally, we are making history in the highest courts of the land, we are so excited about Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson! The Biden Administration has once again pushed back the start of student loan repayments (yea, we're still calling for the cancelation as promised over here). Also, we will never get rid of the messiness that is the 45th Administration. 

Check out this episode with Ashley and Chavaysha to keep updated on where our politics are taking us.

Ashley & Pierre Defecto are back with another episode and this time we have another candidate who is running for office in the PA 2021 Primary Elections. We are still talking school board because there are a lot of seats up for the Pittsburgh Public School District.



This episode we speak with Khamil Scantling, founder of Cocoaprenuer, co-founder of Greenwood Week, and an overall community advocate. This episode you'll hear about who Khamil is, what she stands for and her goals for the district. As we always say it's a breath of fresh air to hear from people who want to do something different. You know the saying, if we keep doing the same things over and over again but expecting different results, you know the rest! 



We're sure this episode will further help you understand why school boards are so important. They have the opportunity to unlock the most potential of our young people who will be our future leaders. It's only right we ensure our school system is doing just that. Tap in to this episode and get in to this conversation because it's about all of us!
