Episode 15
Dianne Morales is an Afro-Latina single mother who is running to become the mayor of New York City. Dianne would not only be the first Latina mayor of NYC, but also the first female mayor. Her vision for her city is one in which all people are not just surviving, but thriving. As she says, "New York City doesn’t work until it works for everyone."
In this conversation, we talk about her mission to center the voices of those most affected by our society's failures, about how our systems were inherently built to oppress and must be reimagined, and how that strategy could radically alter the America we have today— not just in NYC, but in all of our communities.
