Thank Goodness Kamala Harris Is Ambitious, and Why That’s Good for You
Episode Summary:
You knew it would happen. As soon as Harris was named as Biden’s running mate, the word ambitious was used to undermine rather than praise her character. In this episode, Gloria makes a case for why we should once and for all rid ourselves of this double-standard and has some choice advice for how to keep yourself grounded in the power of your own ambition.
