Maya Rupert is a political strategist and social justice leader. She also served as the campaign manager for Julián Castro’s presidential campaign, and is Hank’s friend and political confidante! The two talk about Maya’s book, The Real Ones, why conversations about race are usually unproductive, and if the Democrats are wusses. Plus, Taylor and Beyoncé (not vs!).
