Partisan politics has fueled America’s democracy since the country’s inception. The infrastructure of the U.S. political system leaves many citizens feeling powerless, voiceless, and frustrated -- particularly people of color. Breaking down data in a consumable way, Tiffany offers a different narrative of how Black women are well positioned to define what government looks like at the local, state, and federal level. She argues that the fastest way to lose power is not recognizing that you have it.
Tiffany Cross Hosts New MSNBC Show, The Cross Connection
Political analyst and cable news veteran TIFFANY CROSS hosts a new weekend show, The Cross Connection, on MSNBC. The Cross Connection airs on Saturdays at 10am for two hours, and we've already seen a sneak peak. On the show, Cross will explain the intricacies of the government to everyone and make these explanations accessible. "I really believe when people understand government better, it gives them a better sense of their own agency and their role in the American body politics," Cross told Essence. Cross is passionate about involving citizens in democracy, through her show and her speeches. In her talks, she engages audiences by revealing their power and voice. She receives many rave reviews for her speeches at many different venues, such as "[Tiffany hit a] "home run" We were all inspired, moved and gained great sight with Tiffany's contribution. Please thank her on my behalf and the team. We'd certainly love to work with her again in the future." (Santa Cruz Nutritionals). Cross is the bestselling author of Say It Louder: Black Voters, White Narratives, and Saving Our Democracy, a resident fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, and has navigated newsrooms and campaigns for two decades.
