With recent news cycles mimicking a hurricane season; one storm after the next, building peaking, and subsiding, we turned the mic over to four women to process how the latest, unprecedented news is landing for them, 105 days before the election Nov 5th. For the full hour we heard from Pauline Merry, Yolanda Robinson, Jane Wishon, and Olivia Fu for their reflections. Pauline Merry, a retired higher education administrator appeared earlier about her memoir, Growing Up in the Ville in St. Louis Missouri; Yolanda Robinson is also a retired professional a friend and colleague of Pauli’s, and a veteran of election politics in OC; Jane Wishon, a builder of many LA area Democratic organizations is currently Co-Chair of Organizational Development and Chartering Committee at LA Co Democratic Party and Co-chair of the CA Democratic Credentials Committee; and Olivia Fu, former co-editor of The Express at San Juan Hills High School, previously appeared on this show about her voting registration work in southern OC high schools as an anti- gun violence activist, graduated from Stanford and now a Tom Ford Philanthropy Fellow at North Star Fund.
