Ep. 24 - Reparations & Politics w/ NY Assembly Member Michaelle C. Solages

In this episode of Policy & Culture, we sit down with New York State Assembly Member Michaelle C. Solages for a powerful and unfiltered conversation on reparations, representation, and the realities of governing.

Assembly Member Solages breaks down the ongoing conversation around reparations, what it means, where policy stands, and what it will take to move from dialogue to action. We also explore the landscape of local politics, the role of women in leadership, and the responsibility that comes with serving diverse communities.

A key part of this discussion highlights the influence of the Black, Hispanic, Puerto Rican and Asian Legislative Caucus in Albany, and how collective power is used to shape policy, advocate for equity, and drive meaningful change across New York State.

This episode offers a real look at how politics works behind the scenes and how leadership, strategy, and culture intersect to create impact.
