This week I spoke with Meena Harris, a Harvard-educated lawyer, best-selling children's book author, founder and CEO of Phenomenal, and mom. Meena's outstanding work in social change and empowerment is in her blood - she's the niece of vice president elect Kamala Harris and the daughter of Kamala's sister Maya Harris, a civil rights lawyer and public policy advocate, who once led the nation's largest ACLU affiliate. Meena's first book Kamala and Maya's Big Ideais based on her mom and aunt, and her second book Ambitious Girl was just published. We talk about the inspiration and process behind both books, as well as the need for inclusion within children's literature. We also spoke about community building, organizing, writing, motherhood, friendship, being an only child raised by successful powerful women, and more. Show notes:- Meena's books Kamala and Maya's Big Idea and Ambitious Girl- Phenomenal- Meena Harris, Building That Brand (Article)- Connect with Meena on Instagram- Creative Underdogs If you liked this episode try out:- Valerie Chaney on Real Girl, Relationships, Self-Love, & Cultural Influences on Girls new to *let it out* --> start with these linkskatie's site: https://katiedalebout.com/our start here guide: https://letitouttt.com/general/start-here/++ LET IT OUT letter katie's bookLET IT OUT kits  Sponsors: Receive $15 off your first Public Goods order with NO MINIMUM purchase.
