Season 2, Episode 2: Building a more intersectional Texas with MEASURE

Meme Styles blew the doors off this year's Women's March in Austin with her passionate speech calling for a Texas where no one gets left behind as we work to build a brighter future. We were thrilled to sit down with Meme, President and Founder of MEASURE, and Janis Bookout, Director of Performance Measurement at MEASURE, a non-profit that uses data and education to empower communities to eliminate social disparities. Join us as we talk intersectionality, internalized racism and more.
