Stuff Mom Never Told You: Judge Ketanji ...

About this episode

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the first Black woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court of the United States. And because she’s a Black woman, her nomination and confirmation process will be filled with racist, sexist, disinformation. 

 

Bridget joined Sam and Anney at the podcast Stuff Mom Never Told You to talk through her historic nomination and why we need a digital media climate that allows for everyone to be judged by their actions, values, and merit, not racist, sexist caricatures and disinformation.
