So here you have this extraordinary demographic so powerful in ways that are both good and bad. I’m like, what organization and what book do I read? Where do I sign up or do I donate? I’m in. And I sort of was like a meerkat and I, like, picked my head up. And so I was like, let’s go have conversations with white ladies. And I was having a hard time reconciling what I was seeing from stage with that 54 percent figure of white women who voted for Trump in 2016 and how that also was supposed to align with all of the wonderful white women who raised me. at the intersection of independence on 3rd and 3rd on January 21st, and I looked at it at a sea of women and in pink hats, I noticed qualitatively that it seemed like most of them were white. And while I was standing on stage in D.C. And then I was one of the organizers of the Women’s March in 2017. Jenna: Where to start? My name is Jennifer Arnold and I reside in New York City in Chelsea with my husband and my two children who are five and three. Kelly: Would you mind telling us a little bit like tell us who you are, where you’re from and some key points of your journey thus far for people who might not know. Kelly: We’re going to let Jenna start us off. Have those hard conversations…and you can start here with us. Which covers how white women can stop avoiding hard conversations and find their place on the frontlines.Īurora: So, let’s get into it. And most recently, she’s written a book called Raising Our Hands. She co-organized the National Women’s March. She is an educator, entrepreneur, activist and mother. And while we may not have the answers…it’s so important that we’re having these conversations. When we question the fabric of our society, we can actually start seeing all of the tears.Īnd as our guest today said, we’re living in the age of questions.
As a white woman, I can say, it’s hard to know actually where to even start.Īurora: I think the first step is asking those hard questions. Kelly: We have a lot of questions…especially at this moment. How does our healthcare system need to transform?.What is going to happen this presidential election?.When will we have a vaccine to combat coronavirus?.Kelly: We’re having the difficult conversations we all need to be having…Because we can all OPT-IN to do better. Aurora: And you’re listening to the Opt-In.
