Session 402: Flipping the Tables & Owning Our Futures with Alencia Johnson

It goes without saying that “the 92%” understood the assignment during the 2024 election, but what are we to make of it when we still end up exactly where we are today? Struggling to make sense of our place in the world with leaders and legislation increasingly being utilized against us. You can’t deny the tables have turned but how can you resist? Joining me fresh off the release of her new book, Flip The Tables: The Everyday Disruptor's Guide to Finding Courage and Making Change , is Alencia Johnson. She is the founder of 1063 West Broad, a consultancy and media company that connects organizations to purpose-driven solutions. Serving as a political advisor and strategist for President Biden, VP Harris, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Planned Parenthood where she created the “Stand With Black Women” initiative, she is uniquely equipped to dissect exactly how we got here and what we can do about it. In our conversation we explore what it means to be a disruptor and how nuanced Black women’s roles are as we prepare for a trying four years. About the Podcast The Therapy for Black Girls Podcast is a weekly conversation with Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed Psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia, about all things mental health, personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible versions of ourselves.
