Monday, November 30, 2020: Imagining a Post-“45” US and the World with Vylma V, Jovelyn Richards, and Margo Okazawa-Rey

Welcome everyone to Women’s Magazine!  I’m Margo Okazawa-Rey, your host. Today is the 5th Monday so three of us hosts of WM Jovelyn Richards, Vylma Ortiz, and I decided to team up.  

We’re here to discuss our observations about the incoming administration and most important, share our vision of a feminist future under Harris and Biden. We will be answering three questions during the show. At the end, we will invite you to share your thoughts via email to Women’s Magazine. In the meantime, think along with us your answers to the questions.

• What are our reactions to the  presidential transition and, based on what you see, what can we expect from the incoming administration?
• What do we want the Biden-Harris administration to create that will ensure women will  thrive? 
• What signs will show us we are on the right road to our vision? What should be our underlying values?
