Thank you so much for this episode. Glenn and John, I was mildly surprised by your intuition of it somehow being "not right" that the presence of well-known women is lacking in your arena of discourse on culture and politics. It's certainly fair to ask why but I thought your sentiment implied concern for injustice. I reflected that, as a woman (sorry for the identity disclaimer), I hadn't noticed the disparity and I hesitate to make an assumption about the reason. But I am also not one who needs or seeks to "see myself" in those that give me inspiration. Your bimonthly conversations with John in which you both display humility, vulnerability, and courage have influenced my own thinking and given me strength to fight my own battles despite our utter lack of intersecting identities.
That being said, I remember one Ayishat Akanbi, featured on Coleman Hughes's podcast some time ago, whom I found to be a very dynamic thinker and was at least at the time pushing back on some very regressive ideas coming on the left from her position as an artist and fashion designer.
