Helena Andrews-Dyer has BEEN slaying this writing game. She's the Senior Pop Culture reporter for The Washington Post and just released her second book (out today!) Reclaiming Her Time: The Power of Maxine Waters that she co-wrote with pop culture writer R. Eric Thomas. And she's dishing on what Kamala, Meg Thee Stallion, Cardi B. and boss moms can learn from Auntie Maxine. Watch & listen inside!
Helena - who's also author of Bitch is the New Black - and Natasha chop it up about everything ambitious and successful YBF chicks are going through right now. Going through and still slaying, too. They talk about the inspiration behind giving or fave never scared Auntie Congresswoman Maxine Waters ALL her things while we can, marriage (Maxine's and Helena's), what Michelle Obama told Helena about how to have a successful marriage, Meg Thee Stallion, Cardi B., and motherhood while being a BOSS and more.
