Rep Ep 8: The 3P’s: Politics

I’d like to introduce you to our framework for Rep, The 3Ps: Politics, Pop Culture, and Public Opinion. The 3Ps are a tool we use to track the power dynamics in the stories around us.

First Up: Politics. We think we’re talking about Politics, but are we? How do we decode the stories that create the politics we are living in today? In this chapter, we follow a few people and the stories that have led them to engage with politics the way they do today.

Our story guides include: Congresswoman Ilhan Omar; her daughter and activist Isra Hirsi; Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s Chief of Staff; and Yasmin Elhady, a comedian and immigration lawyer at the Department of Justice.
