You may know today's guest on TAA from his Tony Award winning performance in “Kinky Boots,” or his starring role in FX’s “Pose”. @TheeBillyPorter joins us to talk about standing up for the LGBTQ+ community during a time of growing violence and hatred.

Special delivery from @MichelleObama 📦📖

So excited to receive Mrs Obama’s new book, The Light We Carry, in the post. Can’t wait to start reading this and get all kinds of inspired.

Thank you very much for thinking of me, Mrs O! #TheLightWeCarry

Today’s guest on The Accidental Activist always knew she wanted to tell stories. @NTagouri has built a career on sharing the kind stories that are very often marginalized, or ignored altogether. Listen to her story now: https://t.co/kkqT6m514V

This week’s guest on The Accidental Activist has always understood the value of free speech – growing up under a repressive regime in Turkey. @EnesFreedom joins the pod to discuss his work of spotlighting global human rights violations. Check it out now: https://t.co/HYKYM1Bok3

In this election, millions of people cast their ballots for an America that is more fair, more just, more equal, and more free.

We’re not there yet, but this keeps us moving forward.

Our democracy is resilient as long as we stay engaged and active between elections.

Would love to know what you want to know about me as I enter motherhood.

Do you want to know more about my decision to become a single mother by choice (SMBC), my IVF journey, how I’m staying fit and active during my pregnancy or how I’m decorating the nursery.

Let me know!

Who would like to answer first?

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

If women ran the country, and they passed laws affecting men’s reproductive organs, I wonder what the men would do?

Black women have the highest levels of what public health researchers call allostatic load—the cumulative burden of bodily “wear and tear” from chronic stress and adverse life events, compared with other groups in the workplace. https://t.co/HDu4FpzEp0

The Accidental Activist is back with an episode full of knowledge and laughs!

@roywoodjr and I talk about the talent he has for blending comedy with weightier topics in order to educate and advocate for social issues that are shaping the world.

Out now wherever you listen.

[Isha Sesay @IshaSesay]

Someone help me understand why there are so few black female anchors on US cable news🤷🏽‍♀️ And now we hear that @TiffanyDCross is out of @MSNBC. Appalling!!! The voices of black women should be part of the conversation. Everyone loses when we aren’t.

Nigerian police have taken in eight domestic workers for questioning following the death of the three-year-old son of Afrobeats star Davido https://t.co/zx6RpVvvn5

[Isha Sesay @IshaSesay]

Waking up to the news of @davido and his partner losing their 3 y/o son. Words can’t even begin to capture how tragic this is. Lifting the entire family up in prayer during this heartbreaking time.🙏🏽💔💔💔

I'm PREGNANT!

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

#GetHerThere is about the ways that we can come together to support girls around the world. That’s what we did today in New York, where the @GirlsAlliance celebrated the power and potential of girls everywhere.

[Isha Sesay @IshaSesay]

Sometimes it really does feel like it is the end of days in this country🤦🏽‍♀️

[Secretary Antony Blinken @SecBlinken]

We welcome the talks beginning today between the government of Ethiopia and Tigrayan authorities. We call on the delegations to reach an immediate cessation of hostilities, the first step towards peace.
