This week we have a bonus episode of The Forum Podcast featuring IOP Resident Fellows Mayor Andrew Gillum and Aisha Moodie-Mills.

This conversation was recorded in April when Aisha and Mayor Gillum took the stage in the JFK Jr. Forum to open the Black Policy Conference “Affirming Blackness - Protest, Passion and Policy.

Moodie-Mills and Gillum served as opening keynote speakers and discussed what true democracy and fearless leadership look like, and the diversity and grassroots energy that are transforming American politics.

Harvard University’s Institute of Politics (IOP), located at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, was established in 1966 as a memorial to President Kennedy. The IOP’s mission is to unite and engage students, particularly undergraduates, with academics, politicians, activists, and policymakers on a non-partisan basis to inspire them to consider careers in politics and public service. The Institute strives to promote greater understanding and cooperation between the academic world and the world of politics and public affairs.
