The results of the 2020 US Presidential election are in and Trump has officially been voted out of office.
Boy bye!
Yes, it was a significant step to get Trump out of the executive branch of the US government.
And we get to celebrate that more people voted him out than voted to keep him in office.
But just because Trump is gone- doesn't mean Trump-ism is gone.
No, Trump-ism is alive and kicking.
For those of us who are justice informed people our work continues on well beyond this election.
Today on the podcast I am sharing these 5 lessons from the 2020 US Presidential election:
- We will not be fooled by the "nice" oppressors (I'm looking at you Nikki Haley).
- We will not be complacent now that Trump has lost the election because Trump-ism lives on.
- We will tap into our power as everyday people in holding those we elect accountable
- We will learn from Native Americans & Black Americans who have immense knowledge and experience in dismantling systems of oppression and building a culture that is just and inclusive.
- We will use our talent; we all have purpose and the world will make room for our gifts
This is an important topic we are discussing on today's show- tune in.

Nikki Haley is the former governor of South Carolina and served as United States Ambassador to the United Nations under the Trump Administration. In today's episode I talk about how Nikki Haley fully embraced Trump-ism though by some she is considered to be an acceptable, nice, and disarming conservative. These are simply is simply personality traits. The actual policies she embraces and stood for represent Trump-ism. See below for additional resources referenced in today's episode.
