Memoir of a Multicultural Family Offers Advice on Parenting, Hope to Refugees and Empowerment to Women

Leslie begins today's show with her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment.

Here are the stories that she gave her take on:

1. AXIOS: "You can start ordering free COVID tests Wednesday"
2. AXIOS: "Biden deploying military medical staff to help overwhelmed hospitals"
3. AXIOS: "Nurses across the U.S. strike against COVID working conditions"
4. AXIOS: "Biden admin threatens to take back Arizona's COVID aid over anti-mask rules"
5. AUDIO - Notorious disseminater of COVID misinformation, Joe Rogan, Admits Josh Szeps Made Him 'Look Dumb' in Podcast Vaccine Debate (1:33 in length)
6. AXIOS: "Biden hosts Manchin and Sinema at White House to push for voting rights reform"

 

Leslie is then joined by Marjorie Margolies, who has experienced the peaks and valleys of politics and parenting. Throughout her career as a journalist, member of Congress, advocate for women’s leadership worldwide, and Mother of 11 children in a non-traditional family of multiple hues, cultures and religions, she has been a trailblazer.
In her latest memoir, "And How Are the Children?", she imparts wisdom and inspiration with her self-effacing humor.

Currently, Marjorie is the President and Founder of Women’s Campaign International (WCI), an organization that provides political, economic and social advocacy training for women in dozens of foreign countries. WCI has yielded phenomenal success such as doubling the number of women in parliaments around the world.

In 1992, Marjorie was elected to represent the state of Pennsylvania in the House of Representatives, making her the first woman ever elected to Congress from Pennsylvania in her own right. She was defeated after one term because she became the main target of Republicans after she cast the deciding vote to approve President Clinton’s budget.

The website for Women’s Campaign International (WCI) is WomensCampaignInternational.org and their Twitter handle is @WomensCampaign.
