This week’s PBS’ To The Contrary honestly felt like one of or strongest episodes. There was less shouting, mainly due to the absence of a certain panelist, and more substantive conversation about policy and politics.

It has been four years since my PBS To The Contrary debut, which also was my American TV debut, but I have to say that this week’s show was one of my favorites. We discussed the social safety net under Trump, the Black women NASA scientists of Hidden Figures and more, but my favorite part

After its summer hiatus, PBS’ To The Contrary returned with a bang. On Friday, my fellow To The Contrary panelists and I, with our legendary host, Bonnie Erbe, tackled sexual assault on campus, Donald Trump, immigration and Hillary Clinton’s stance on women’s rights. My stipulation always focuses on identifying rape culture, first and foremost. Most

Last week on PBS’ To The Contrary we recorded a special episode which allowed us to delve into and discuss issues at a longer length than normal.

This week on PBS’ To The Contrary, we took on pay equity, how social media impacts marriage, anti-poverty experiments, and mothers who abandon their children.
