Special Episode!! All About Juneteenth with Ms. Opal Lee, Grandmother of Juneteenth

This is a special edition of Girl and the Gov, The Podcast and it’s special not just because its a two episode week, but because we are beyond honored to share that our guest is none other than Ms. Opal Lee, the Grandmother of Juneteenth. To say that we aren’t still star struck is an understatement, but Ms. Opal Lee is one serious badass lady, counting 94 years on this planet and many in activism. Her focus, as one may guess from her moniker, is to have Juneteenth recognized in law as a federal holiday. Her work, which we discussed, is no short of amazing, and we were blown away to learn that it came to fruition moments before this exact interview, with the Senate passing the legislation unanimously. You won’t want to miss this important discussion and the joy we shared during this momentous occasion.
