In this episode, Nina and I talk about something that’s been gnawing at both of us: we are not going to win the future with the playbooks of the past. And yet, too often, Democratic strategy still treats digital media like an afterthought, communications like a soft skill, and innovation like a risk we can’t afford to take.
But this episode isn’t just critique. It’s a roadmap.
We talk about:
Why communications needs to be respected as a practice—not just a press release
How Nina is helping to create safer and smarter internet for Black Communities with the Digital Green Book
What it takes to create safety and trust for experimentation in progressive work
Why creativity dies under fear—and how we break that cycle
Nina reminds us that digital isn't just a tool—it’s the terrain. And if we’re not building for it, we’re not winning.
