Plaskett of U.S. Virgin Islands.  Her presentation was powerful, as were all of the mangers, but inspiring and motivating for many young people of color when she addressed the defendant’s attorney showing clips only of women of color.  Quoted as saying “I’ll briefly say that defense counsels put a lot of videos out in their defense, playing clip after clip of Black women talking about fighting for a cause or an issue or a policy – It’s not lost on me that so many of them were people of color and women.  Black women, Black women like myself who are sick and tired of being sick and tired for our children, for your children.”   She is the first Member from a U.S. Territory and the fourth African American woman to serve on the House Committee on Ways and Means, which is the oldest and one of the most exclusive committees in Congress, and she was unanimously appointed.  Among other things, she’s an advocate for improvements to critical infrastructure in the US. Virgin Islands, as well as the development of economically depressed rural and urban areas.  WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY?  LINKS BELOW FOR: APPLE, GOOGLE, PANDORA, AND SPOTIFY.  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ladiespromotingtransparentadvocacy/id1526382637https://www.pandora.com/podcast/ladiespromotingtransparentadvocacy/PC:52161?corr=17965216&part=ug&_branch_match_id=819557998249581330https://open.spotify.com/show/5x7xSxWi2wj2UXPsWnZ0cw?si=peGax6j6SIumBT5tq7_hhghttps://podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2xhZGllc3Byb21vdGluZ3RyYW5zcGFyZW50YWR2b2NhY3kvZmVlZC54bWw&ep=14Sources:  New Yok Times (nytimes.com), Congresswoman Plasket House Page (https://placket.house.gov/biography), CNN Live with Abby Phillips and Dana Bash, Dragging Out The Loneliness - Royalty-Free Music by https://audiohub.com, License: CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Follow us on Twitter: @AdvocacyLadiesPodcast Email: podcasthostshapta19@gmail.comOrg.
