Hear how Chirlane McCray, the First Lady of New York City, and Amy Keller Laird, the Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, are trying to smash the stigma. The Women Promoted in This Episode: “I basically watch MSNBC like a fool, and Rachel Maddow is my favorite person to watch,” says Amy. “It was so exciting to see that our podcast, which is still in its infancy, had made the, New and Noteworthy list on iTunes, and that we were right alongside her.” “Hillary Clinton was an enthusiastic cheerleader of Thrive NYC,” says Chirlane. “She actually gave us advice about how to approach it by going to communities and having town halls and getting people's first hand experiences with the mental health system. She's just incredible. The other woman I want to promote is the author Tanwi Nandidi Islam. Her book, Bright Lines, is about what the life of an eighteen year old daughter of Bangladesh immigrants in 2003 in Brooklyn was like. It's a coming of age story and it is really wonderful.” Follow These Women on Twitter: Women's Health: @womenshealthmag Caitlin Abber: @everydaycaitlin Amy Keller Laird: @amykellerlaird Chirlane McCray: @chirlane Episode Credits: Uninterrupted is produced by Caitlin Abber, with audio production by Paul Ruest at Argot Studios.

New York City has a new mayor . . . Chirlane McCray! Ok, no. It's Bill de Blasio, and we like him too. But not as much as Chirlane. Today we spend the hour looking at this activist, poet, political leader. There is a lot to say. We speak with Dr. Alexis Pauline Gumbs on the history and vision of the Combahee River Collective, the influential Black Feminist group that Chirlane was a member of in the 1970s.Then the poet Timothy DuWhite gives a reading of Chirlane's most well-known poems, "I Used to Think." He's joined on the phone by Caitie Moore (more poets!) with some thoughts and responses to the poem. And then - Chirlane now. What are her positions, politics, tweets?  There's a lot to learn from the history, art and experiences of Chirlane McCray  . . . come listen. Photo credit: Tim Schrier.
