WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW NOW
“This is not just for me. This is for every little girl that looks like me.” The LA Times recapped some of the most important moments at this weekend’s SAG awards.
Brittney Griner took the stage at the NAACP Image Awards and called for the release of more Americans being held overseas.

Permission to Speak with Samara Bay
Getting heard is a tricky business: It’s what you say and how you show up, filtered through your audience’s assumptions and biases—and maybe even your own. For women, people of color, immigrants, and queer folks, there’s often a dissonance between how you speak and how we collectively think powerful people should speak: like the wealthy white men who’ve historically been in charge. But, fortunately, the sound of power is changing. Author and speech coach Samara Bay joins us to discuss her new book and to share tricks of the trade for empowering ourselves through our voices.
