Cash Money & Fantasy Candidates: Dorian Warren

What’s In It For Us, theGrio’s weekly political podcast hosted by Christina Greer, PhD., welcomes special guest, Organizer, Scholar and President of Community Change, Dorian Warren.  In today’s episode, Dr. Greer and Dorian Warren look back at the legacy and mourn the loss of hip-hop pioneer Shock G, and break down his cultural impact as well as the social and political implications of the alarming trend of Black men dying far too young.  Plus, we’re just days away from one of the first major Biden Administration milestones—President Biden’s first 100 days in office. He’s laid out some pretty promising policy, including legislation that could slash child poverty in half, but what does implementing such big plans look like in action and not just on paper?  Keeping it political, Caitlyn Jenner has announced plans to run for Governor of California, but given the history of the “Celebrity Candidate,” there’s skepticism of her qualifications and growing concerns around her hiring former members of the Trump team to lead her gubernatorial efforts.  With so much going on, we have to stop and take a moment to ask, “What’s In It For Us?”
