20/04/2019: Every day, President Obama received ten thousand letters and every night, he read ten of them before going to bed. Tom Billinghurst reviews To Obama: With Love, Joy, Hate and Despair by Jeanne Marie Laskas which describes the day-to-day of the Office of Presidential Correspondence and how it captured the voice of a nation.

We continue our 2018 Miami Book Fair series with Obama National Security Council Alum Rumana Ahmed who is one of eighteen former Obama administration contributors to “West Wingers: Stories from the Dream Chasers, Change Makers and Hope Creators Inside the Obama White House“. Rumana Ahmed interned in the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence before becoming a full-time staffer. She then was a liaison to Muslim American and other communities in the Office of Public Engagement, where she also worked on highlighting community-based efforts to address issues like gun violence. Later, as Senior Advisor in the Office for Global Engagement and Strategic Communications in the National Security Council, she worked on advancing relations with Cuba and Laos. A Bangladeshi-American and Muslim who wore a hijab since she was twelve, Rumana was the only (and possibly the first) hijab-wearing staffer in the West Wing.  She played a key role in President Obama's visit and speech at a Baltimore mosque in response to anti-Muslim hate crimes.

Sara Antel, also known as "Santel" knew she wanted to be in politics and governance after attending a model United Nations conference in high school. Since then, she's served as Chief Elections Officer for elections at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, served as a Correspondence Associate at the White House Office of Presidential Correspondence, worked on campaigns including President Obama's reelection campaign in 2012, and currently works in voter education to empower voters to make informed decisions at the ballot box. She also works to make politics more approachable and kinder on her podcast, The Dove Party. Sara knows this will help bring better people into the fold, especially women and girls, and help people realize just how much power they can have in the system to affect positive change. Her life's mantra is to "shake things up, tear things down, and build things better." Her ultimate goal is to become President of the United States someday and do "the greatest good for the greatest number" of people. In this episode, you'll hear us chat about what's going on in the world, how you can use your voice and your vote to impact change, and why the representation of women matters.
