Rebuilding Democracy with Congresswoman Barbara Lee

Lady Don't Take No

Lady Don’t Take No is a podcast created by Garza's for people who like their political commentary with a side of beauty recommendations. It’s her tribute to the Bay Area’s unique way of getting things done. Garza will divulge her hot takes on everything from why Fenty Beauty saves lives, to how to handle microaggressions at the airport. Every Friday, Lady Don’t Take No will deliver all the real, and none of the fake. Why? Because Lady. Don’t. Take. No.

Alicia Garza welcomes one of the most forceful and progressive voices in Congress, Representative Barbara Lee (D-CA). Alicia asks Congresswoman Lee about 2021’s legislative priorities and her thoughts on currently having no Black women in the U.S. Senate. Plus, Garza’s weekly round-up of everything good and awful.
