More Than A Magazine, A Movement
Never was there a dull moment in 2020. But 2020 also brought the inaugural episode of the first-ever Ms. podcast, “On the Issues with Michele Goodwin,” which guided listeners through all the highs and lows of this year. Goodwin helped break down some of the most complex issues of 2020, reaffirming that knowledge is indeed power.
We picked out some of our favorite and most fiery words of wisdom from this year’s episodes to guide us as we enter 2021.
