 

In this week's episode, Jennifer presents an engaging tribute to Mia Love, highlighting the life and legacy of the first black Republican congresswoman who represented Utah's 4th congressional district in the House from 2015 until 2019. Born in New York to Haitian immigrants, Mia Love broke new ground with her remarkable political journey in a predominantly white, conservative district. In addition to being a congresswoman, she was a mother and former flight attendant who made her mark in politics by championing public safety and fiscal responsibility. Sadly, Mia passed away at the age of 49 due to a brain tumor, leaving behind a legacy that inspires young women and political enthusiasts alike.

 

Jennifer reflects on Mia Love's considerable impact on the political sphere, navigating complex themes such as the lack of diversity within political parties and the critical need for inclusive perspectives in governance. The discussion covers Mia's significant career achievements, her choice not to endorse Trump, and how that decision influenced her political trajectory. Jennifer delves into broader political issues, reflecting on the current state of political discourse and the pressing need for respectful, integrity-driven leadership. The episode serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of diverse voices in politics and highlights ongoing challenges like immigration and the underrepresentation of women.

 

"Mia Love, thank you for being an inspiration to young women like your daughter, young women like my daughters, and to someone around the same age as you who really thought that you were a phenomenal role model." ~Jennifer Nassour

Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy, news, and ownership over the fact that it is ok to agree to disagree. It is our First Amendment right to free speech. Before we can even out the number of women in our local, state, & federal governments, we need to empower women to feel comfortable and confident discussing these and other topics.

My name is Jennifer. I’m a single mom of three girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with two political science degrees, and I have no problem talking politics with people who disagree with me.

I spent three years as the Chairman of the Massachusetts GOP and ran for the very liberal Boston City Council. I’m a frequent analyst on Newsmax, Fox News Radio, and Boston Media. As a Republican in a blue state, I know a few things about how to disagree agreeably.
