Shannon Watts: Power

Hype Women

Today, we're spending time with Shannon Watts. Yes…*that* Shannon Watts. The woman who founded a grassroots movement of Americans, Moms Demand Action, fighting for public safety measures that can protect people from gun violence.
**It’s important to note that we discuss gun violence in this episode. So, please take care of yourself if you decide to step away from this conversation or to sit down with us.**

And we ask a complicated question: are seeking joy and ceding power mutually exclusive?
Let’s find out.
“I was full of anger because I knew no one was going to act. And I wanted to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the same women I’ve seen get so much done in this country since the nation began.” - Shannon
