The Friday Power Lunch returns this week with a powerful conversation titled Say It Again: We Are Somebody — Mutual Aid, Moral Courage, & Belonging.
The program will honor Rev. Jessie Jackson and his enduring legacy.
Patricia Bracknell, Founder and CEO of the Chamber for Hispanic Progress in Hampton Roads, joins the show to share insight into what immigrant communities are experiencing right now and how local leadership is responding with resilience and mutual aid.
The conversation also welcomes Jane Aman, Democratic candidate for the Florida House of Delegates. Having grown up in the host’s neighborhood and attended school alongside her children, Aman’s candidacy represents a full-circle moment and a tangible reminder that the next generation of leadership is stepping forward.
Antjuan Seawright, CEO and Founder of Blueprint Strategy, brings strategic perspective to the national landscape, offering clarity about the stakes and the leadership required in this moment.
The show will also highlight the #FightBack #VoteYes campaign, reinforcing a central theme: dignity and democracy are inseparable. When voters protect the rules, democracy works. When they do not, the rules protect politicians instead.
